Entropy Framework core module.

This module contains base classes used by entropy.client, entropy.server and entropy.services.

"Singleton" is a class that is inherited from singleton objects.

SystemSettings is a singleton, pluggable interface which contains all the runtime settings (mostly parsed from configuration files and inherited from entropy.const -- which contains almost all the default values). SystemSettings works as a dict object. Due to limitations of multiple inherittance when using the Singleton class, SystemSettings ONLY mimics a dict AND it's not a subclass of it.

SystemSettingsPlugin is the base class for building valid SystemSettings plugin modules (see entropy.client.interfaces.client or entropy.server.interfaces for working examples).

Classes
	Singleton If your class wants to become a sexy Singleton, subclass this and replace __init__ with init_singleton
	SystemSettingsPlugin This is a plugin base class for all SystemSettings plugins.
	SystemSettings This is the place where all the Entropy settings are stored if they are not considered instance constants (etpConst).
