Multiple fixes to ev and utils:
...
Made utils.variable_from_module more generic (it can now load pretty much any form of module it's given and also supports searching and returning multiple variables).
Removed the variable-load functionality from utils.load_module; this is now purely a loader - use variable_from_module instead.
I found out that one couldn't import from src.commands.default due to the __init__ file being restrictive for the sake of the ev API. Removed that and instead imported the default commands into ev.py with the help of utils.variable_from_module instead. Some more fixes in ev followed on this.

Updated game/ for the ev API. There will likely be some changes happening in the game/folder, in the way new objects are inherited. This should use the API rather than inherit from the basecommand/baseobject modules (these will probably into the example folders as vanilla templates instead).

Went over the Command class' basic methods, cleaning up and optimizing while still trying to keep things clean, such as using cleverer loops and try...except instead of if statements. Also cleaned up the way attributes are retrieved. Results in roughly a halving of the time that the code spends in the command.py module.

Added the @ban and @unban commands to the default command sets, allowing an admin to filter access from users without outright deleting their accounts. The ban list is stored in the database, but the checking is not hard-coded in the server/portal, but done in the normal login command(s), meaning it can be customized easily. Also contrib/menu_login has been updated to check for banned connections.

Changed the way unloggedin commands work. Rather than the cmdhander having a special state for unlogged-in commands, the session itself simply stores the cmdset from settings.CMDSET_UNLOGGEDIN. Clean and efficient and also gives a lot more freedom for creating custom login mechanisms (notably it opens the door to using menu systems).

Added a new 'contrib' folder for optional code snippets not suitable for the server core. Added contrib/menusystem for implementing a multi-choice menu system. Added contrib/lineeditor - a powerful line editor with commands mimicking VI. Also added an example NPC class using the menu system to allow for a conversation. As part of creating these contributions, lots of bugs were found and fixed. A new and more powerful cmdparser was intruduced as a result - this one is much easier to understand than the old one, while being more efficient and versatile. All testsuites were updated. Also: Resolves issue 165.

Run Migrate. Implemented a full separation between Player and Character - Players (OOC entities) can now also hold cmdsets and execute commands. This means that "disconnecting" from a Character becomes possible, putting the Player in an "OOC" state outside the game. This overall makes the game much more stable since there used to be issues if the character was destroyed. Having an OOC set also avoids the previous problem of @puppeting into an object that didn't have any cmdset of its own - you couldn't get back out! A new default OOC-Cmdset handles commands available to a player while OOC. Commands in this set are applied with a low priority, allowing "IC" mode to give precedence if desired.
...
This change meant several changes to the lock and permission functionality, since it becomes important if permissions are assigned on the Player or on their Character (lock functions pperm() and pid() etc check on Player rather than Character). This has the boon of allowing Admins to switch and play/test the game as a "Low access" character as they like.
Plenty of bug fixes and adjustments. Migrations should make sure to move over all data properly.

Migration needed. Changed how connection screens are defined, rather than being a database model, they are created on-the fly. I didn't migrate over the screen data into the new module file though, so if you had custom connection screens, you need to manually add them to the new module in gamesrc/world/connection_screen.py.

OBS: You'll need to resync/rebuild your database!

- This implements an updated, clearer and more robust access system. The policy is now to lock that which is not explicitly left open.
- Permission strings -> Lock strings. Separating permissions and locks makes more sense security-wise
- No more permissiongroup table; permissions instead use a simple tuple PERMISSIONS_HIERARCHY to define an access hierarchy
- Cleaner lock-definition syntax, all based on function calls.
- New objects/players/channels get a default security policy during creation (set through typeclass)
As part of rebuilding and testing the new lock/permission system I got into testing and debugging several other systems, fixing some
outstanding issues:
- @reload now fully updates the database asynchronously. No need to reboot server when changing cmdsets
- Dozens of new test suites added for about 30 commands so far
- Help for channels made more clever and informative.
