Adding a new API system to Evennia. This centralizes all access of the evennia driver through a single module "ev". Importing ev one should be able to access (and also importantly, easily explore) Evennia's API much easier. This API goes a long way to "flatten" the structure so that one doesn't need to remember how to find some method in a deeply nested subdirectory.

As part of this work, I have also written full listings of all available properties on Typeclassed objects (including those inherited in various ways). Should hopefully make things easier to find.
One can of course still import things directly from src/ as before. But this is a first step towards removing the "base" objects in game/gamesrc and instead making those accessible through the core API.

Moved all command definitions of Typeclassed entities up one level, to Object, Player and Script respectively. The actual code is still on the models (ObjectDB, PlayerDB and ScriptDB), but one should not be able to use the methods without having to dig into the code as far. Also added extensive, up-to-date headers to the inheriting base objects in game/gamesrc.

Fixed the issues with assigning to nested attribute-lists/dicts "in-situ", e.g. obj.db.mylist[1][2] = val. This now works as it should. I'm still not sure this behaviour is worth the fact that returning mylist from the attribute will actually return a nested structure of PackedLists/Dicts, and these will continue to save to the database whenever they are updated, also if not used in conjuction with db. Since this behaviour is what is already in the database, I'm committing this fix for the nested assignment error until I decide what to do about the other issue = val. This now works as it should.

Worked with admin interface, cleaning up and adding functionality. There are still some strange behaviour that makes e.g. the presence of inlines to auto-create empty database objects for some strange reason. Inlines are turned off at the moment (so there is no convenient way to add attributes from the admin interface at this time). Creating players now work, but one needs to create all three components (User, Player, Character) in one go and tie them together. The User-admin form was changed to also support multi-word usernames (django default didn't allow spaces).

Restructured the way typeclasses are loaded. This makes it possible to run at_init() hooks at initiation also for objects without any custom cases for character/players. at_init() hooks are called only when an object is initiated. This means that a room's at_init() hook is only called when someone looks or enters it or a script operates on it, for example, rest of the time these objects are dormant, most efficiently.

Fixing so assigning to a nested attribute value doesn't loose data. It is unfortunately not possible to support direct assignment of deeply nested attributes at this time. So if obj.db.mydict = {1:{2:3}}, then obj.db.mydict[1] = 1 will work just fine, but obj.db.mydict[1][2] = 4 will not. For more advanced manipulation such as the latter case, store the dict in a temporary variable and save it back after changes have been done.

Added functionality to Attributes to store and update dicts and lists dynamically. One side effect of this is that dicts and tuples need to be stored as custom object types which means that e.g. isintance(obj.db.mylist) == type(list) will return False. In order to do checks like this, use src.utils.utils.inherits_from() instead. The Attribute system now also supports tuples. All other iterables except dicts, lists and tuples are stored and retrieved as lists, same as before.

Scripts and Exits updated. Fixed some deep issues with Scripts that caused object-based scripts to not properly shut down in some situations, as well as spawn multiple instances of themselves. I think this should resolve all "at_repeat doubling" issues reported. Due to optimizations in the typeclass cache loader in a previous update, the Exit cmdsets were not properly loaded (they were loaded at cache time, which now doesn't happen as often). So Exits instead rely on the new "at_cmdset_get" hook called by the cmdhandler. It allows dynamic modification of cmdsets just before they are accessed. Resolves issue173 (I hope). Resolves issue180. Resolves issue 181.

Made scripts and typeclassed objects remember db_typeclass_path at all times - a temporarily faulty typeclass will no longer mess up things forever after. Refined and optimized the way typeclasses are cached and loaded, minimizing db hits. The default result when trying to create an object or script with a typeclass that is faulty/not found is now to fail. The previous way, to create an entity anyway using defaults was hard to debug and caused confusion. Resolves issue 175.

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.

OBS: Migration needed(objects, scripts, players). This resolves issue 136 by allowing database objects to be nested in lists and dictionaries as
...
attributes on objects. Behind the scenes, only the DBREF is stored since storing dbobjects cannot be pickled. One used to be able to store single objects this way, but objects hidden in nested iterable structures were not found. Note that ONLY lists and dictionaries are supported to store on attributes - custom iterables will be stored and retrieved as a generic list instead - this is a tradeoff to be able to store database objects.
To migrate, give the following commands from game/:
migrate.py migrate objects
migrate.py migrate scripts
migrate.py migrate players

- 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.
