environs.EnvironProvider, did I stutter ?

[roger peppe]

FWIW, here's an excerpt from the original discussion from which the name came:

[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:43:12] <niemeyer>	The interface you've
named as Environment is actually a MachineProvider
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:43:19] <niemeyer>	juju/providers/common/base.py
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:43:31] <niemeyer>	Naming it just as
Provider sounds good, though
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:43:52] <niemeyer>	But I'd rather not do
that inversion to make people migrate more easily
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:44:28] <niemeyer>	Or, there's another possibility
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:44:32] <rog>	hmm, i'll have to think
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:44:33] <niemeyer>	We kill one of the
terms entirely
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:44:43] <niemeyer>	Which doesn't sound bad either
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:45:08] <rog>	i like the fact that my
Environment maps one to one with the environments specified in the
environments file
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:45:21] <niemeyer>	Yeah, I like it too
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:45:27] <niemeyer>	Ok, here is an idea
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:45:31] <rog>	and that my Providers map
one to one with the various providers, ec2, orchestra etc
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:45:49] <niemeyer>	First, let's please
use "Environ" rather than "Environment" :-)
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:46:01] <niemeyer>	The latter is too
long and boring to type all the type
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:46:02] <niemeyer>	time
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:46:14] <rog>	ok
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:46:18] <niemeyer>	Then, to make people
more comfortable with the idea that we're "inverting" the terms,
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:46:34] <niemeyer>	We can just name the
interface you have today as "Provider" to "EnvironProvider"
[Thursday 13 October 2011] [17:46:45] <niemeyer>	To make it clear that
we're killing the old concept of a MachineProvider

so i guess it comes down to how concerned we are about people
migrating from the python version.
