[ANN] mode.py 1.0a1

[Chad Whitacre]

Greetings, program!

This is to announce the first public release of mode.py, a small utility 
module that models the life-cycle of an application as a series of four 
modes: debugging, development, staging, and production.

Quick start:

   $ easy_install mode.py
   ...
   $ python
   ...
   >>> import mode
   >>> mode.development # the default
   True
   >>> mode.set('production')
   >>> mode.staging_or_production
   True
   >>>


The mode is taken from the PYTHONMODE environment variable. A more 
illustrative example:

   import mode

   if mode.DEVELOPMENT_OR_DEBUGGING:
     db = "mysql://localhost:3306/test"
   elif mode.STAGING:
     db = "mysql://dbserver:33000/staging"
   elif mode.PRODUCTION:
     db = "mysql://dbserver:33000/live"
