• Create a reusable connection pool class that handles failover
• Optionally allow connection pool to discover service locations via Zookeeper

pip install kiddiepool  # without optional zookeeper support
pip install kiddiepool[zookeeper]  # with optional zookeeper support

Subclass at least KiddieClient to create the public API for your client driver. Should call KiddieClient._sendall(<str>) to send data.

1. Create a list of "<host>:<port>" strings to target for connections.
2. Instantiate a KiddiePool with that list of strings.
3. Pass the KiddiePool instance to your KiddieClient subclass for use.
4. Use your client's API and it will use the pool automatically.

1. Instantiate a TidePool with the Zookeeper quorum and znode whose children to monitor.
2. Use a context manager with TidePool() as pool: or the start() and stop() methods to manage the connection to Zookeeper.
3. Use the dynamic pool exactly like the static pool. Candidates will be added/removed from the pool by a background thread.
