"""Pillar extensions support.
Each Pillar extension should create a subclass of PillarExtension, which
can then be registered to the application at app creation time:
from pillar_server import PillarServer
from attract_server import AttractExtension
app = PillarServer('.')
app.load_extension(AttractExtension(), url_prefix='/attract')
app.process_extensions() # Always process extensions after the last one is loaded.
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run('::0', 5000)
