gatherer specs
==============
WORK IN PROGRESS
/When a command is expected, the line "#X#" is printed, where X is the number of
/the request, starting a 0 and incremented after each processed request.
[test_incrementing_counter]
/Requests are spanned on multiple lines. The first line is the command, the
/following lines are parameters (one parameter per line unless stated otherwise).
[statement]
/Requests are all blocking. As they are read from stdin using readline(),
/they can be buffered in stdin.
[test_queuecommands]
/When the number of parameters or returns is variable, it should be indicated
/first.
/When a parameter or returned value is not one line of printable characters,
/its length as returned by len() should be indicated first.
[statement]
/When gatherer is expected to write in a file, its parent directory should exist
/and it will be opened with the "w" flag (unless stated otherwise).
[statement]
/No timeout handling should be implemented in gatherer.
[statement]
SIGINT should stop the current request parsing or execution,
write '#X# INTERRUPTED' to stderr where X is the number of the request,
then continue the normal flow of execution including incrementing the request
number.
/stderr is only used:
/- by Python to display exceptions;
/- to print "ALIVE" when SIGUSR1 is received or after a "ping" request;
/- to print "UNKNOWN COMMAND" when a command is unknown;
/- to print "INTERRUPTED" when a command is interrupted with SIGINT.
[statement(easy to prove wrong, hard to prove right)]
