"""
Utilities for reading descriptors from local directories and archives. This is
mostly done through the :class:`~stem.descriptor.reader.DescriptorReader`
class, which is an iterator for the descriptor data in a series of
destinations. For example...

::

  my_descriptors = [
    '/tmp/server-descriptors-2012-03.tar.bz2',
    '/tmp/archived_descriptors/',
  ]

  # prints the contents of all the descriptor files
  with DescriptorReader(my_descriptors) as reader:
    for descriptor in reader:
      print descriptor

This ignores files that cannot be processed due to read errors or unparsable
content. To be notified of skipped files you can register a listener with
:func:`~stem.descriptor.reader.DescriptorReader.register_skip_listener`.

The :class:`~stem.descriptor.reader.DescriptorReader` keeps track of the last
modified timestamps for descriptor files that it has read so it can skip
unchanged files if run again. This listing of processed files can also be
persisted and applied to other
:class:`~stem.descriptor.reader.DescriptorReader` instances. For example, the
following prints descriptors as they're changed over the course of a minute,
and picks up where it left off if run again...

::

  reader = DescriptorReader(['/tmp/descriptor_data'])

  try:
    processed_files = load_processed_files('/tmp/used_descriptors')
    reader.set_processed_files(processed_files)
  except: pass # could not load, maybe this is the first run

  start_time = time.time()

  while (time.time() - start_time) < 60:
    # prints any descriptors that have changed since last checked
    with reader:
      for descriptor in reader:
        print descriptor

    time.sleep(1)

  save_processed_files('/tmp/used_descriptors', reader.get_processed_files())

**Module Overview:**

::

  load_processed_files - Loads a listing of processed files
  save_processed_files - Saves a listing of processed files

  DescriptorReader - Iterator for descriptor data on the local file system
    |- get_processed_files - provides the listing of files that we've processed
    |- set_processed_files - sets our tracking of the files we have processed
    |- register_read_listener - adds a listener for when files are read
    |- register_skip_listener - adds a listener that's notified of skipped files
    |- start - begins reading descriptor data
    |- stop - stops reading descriptor data
    |- __enter__ / __exit__ - manages the descriptor reader thread in the context
    +- __iter__ - iterates over descriptor data in unread files

  FileSkipped - Base exception for a file that was skipped
    |- AlreadyRead - We've already read a file with this last modified timestamp
    |- ParsingFailure - Contents can't be parsed as descriptor data
    |- UnrecognizedType - File extension indicates non-descriptor data
    +- ReadFailed - Wraps an error that was raised while reading the file
       +- FileMissing - File does not exist

.. deprecated:: 1.8.0

   This module will likely be removed in Stem 2.0 due to lack of usage. If you
   use this modle please `let me know <https://www.atagar.com/contact/>`_.
