--------------------------------------------+-------------------------------
While writing bridgedb's logger, I made a context manager for storing a
state dictionary which is, so far rather loosely defined, but it would
allow us to gather free statistics on bridgedb. Essentially, you would use
it like so:
{{{
from bridgedb import log as logging
logging.callWithContext(myfoocontext, {'addBridgeAssignment': foobridge})
}}}
It is also safely threadable, so it would be possible to use this to
retrieve debugging information from threads, for instance for #5232.
The nice thing about this is that it is easily called from the logger (and
will still handles log levels and all the other added features from
#9199). The bad thing is that if it is not written very clearly, it could
be difficult for other/new people reading the code to understand,
especially if they are not familiar with Twisted.
Part of this was also discussed between myself and Karsten on tor-
assistants@xxxxxxxxx, earlier this month, in the "BridgeDB data for
metrics" thread.
