"""
Extension Mechanism for nodes.

The extension mechanism makes it possible to dynamically add class attributes,
especially methods, for specific features to node classes
(e.g. nodes need a _fork and _join method for parallelization).
It is also possible for users to define new extensions to provide new
functionality for MDP nodes without having to modify any MDP code.

Without the extension mechanism extending nodes would be done by inheritance,
which is fine unless one wants to use multiple inheritance at the same time
(requiring multiple inheritance for every combination of extensions one wants
to use). The extension mechanism does not depend on inheritance, instead it
adds the methods to the node classes dynamically at runtime. This makes it
possible to activate extensions just when they are needed, reducing the risk
of interference between different extensions.

However, since the extension mechanism provides a special Metaclass it is
still possible to define the extension nodes as classes derived from nodes.
This keeps the code readable and is compatible with automatic code checkers
(like the background pylint checks in the Eclipse IDE with PyDev).
