Extensible?

[akamanocha]

A general question to ask -

The idea is very nice. And I touched this repo 3 months back. I am having a relook. And probably recollecting the things here?

The project is very nice but if I am not wrong there is no way I can add my own middleware in middleware directory like for example

from toolz import merge
from ..formation import _REQ_HTTP


def auth(auth_key=None, access_token=None, content_type='application/json'):
    def auth_middleware(ctx, call):
        req = ctx.get(_REQ_HTTP)
        req.headers = merge(req.headers, {
            'auth_key': auth_key,
            'access_token': access_token,
            'content-type': content_type
        })
        return call(ctx)

    return auth_middleware

And then changing the below file too like

formation/middleware/init.py

from .auth import auth # noqa

So far so good but then I will have bump up the version

formation/version.py

OR raise a PR.

This method / process doesn't seem a lot extensible. Is the extensibility thing missing? Or is there workaround on the release thing? Can I fork and and release it some other name /formation-clone with your @jondot permission of course. I am asking permission here.

May be a newbie question or I misunderstood something. I want to release a bit of functionality. like the auth above and playing with https://pypi.org/project/py-zipkin/ integration. Have 2 -3 ideas in mind, really want to explore. Will that be ok?

Or need your guidance (sorry for newbie question)

Also @jondot @AvnerCohen @cdambo

https://pypi.org/project/py-zipkin/ is good integration in the client middleware (the purpose of formation) like you have described?

Is there some https://pypi.org/project/py-zipkin/ + formation integration in the wild, maybe not?? Or has this thought crossed anyone's mind?

I came to the same position, thinking to use it for auth in my request client and I was checking, but it seems there's no activity behind, pity though, as it seems a nice project.
