class Publisher:
    """
    The core of Quixote and of any Quixote application.  This class is
    responsible for converting each HTTP request into a search of
    Python's package namespace and, ultimately, a call of a Python
    function/method/callable object.

    Each invocation of a driver script should have one Publisher
    instance that lives for as long as the driver script itself.  Eg. if
    your driver script is plain CGI, each Publisher instance will handle
    exactly one HTTP request; if you have a FastCGI driver, then each
    Publisher will handle every HTTP request handed to that driver
    script process.

    Instance attributes:
      root_namespace : module | instance | class
        the Python namespace that will be searched for objects to
        fulfill each HTTP request
      exit_now : boolean
        used for internal state management.  If true, the loop in
        publish_cgi() will terminate at the end of the current request.
      access_log : file
        file to which every access will be logged; set by
        setup_logs() (None if no access log)
      error_log : file
        file to which application errors (exceptions caught by Quixote,
        as well as anything printed to stderr by application code) will
        be logged; set by setup_logs().  Set to sys.stderr if no
        ERROR_LOG setting in the application config file.
      config : Config
        holds all configuration info for this application.  If the
        application doesn't have a config file, uses the default values
        from the quixote.config module.
      _request : HTTPRequest
        the HTTP request currently being processed.

    Perform traversal based on the provided path, starting at the root
    object.  It returns the script name and path info values for
    the arrived-at object, along with the object itself and
    a list of the namespaces traversed to get there.

    It's expected that the final object is something callable like a
    function or a method; intermediate objects along the way will
    usually be packages or modules.

    To prevent crackers from writing URLs that traverse private
    objects, every package, module, or object along the way must have
    a _q_exports attribute containing a list of publicly visible
    names.  Not having a _q_exports attribute is an error, though
    having _q_exports be an empty list is OK.  If a component of the path
    isn't in _q_exports, that also produces an error.

    Modifies the namespace_stack as it traverses the url, so that
    any exceptions encountered along the way can be handled by the
    nearest handler.
