The shotgun event daemon listens to all shotgun events, and distributes them to one or more plugin event handlers. These may register for a particular kind of event to only receive the ones they are interested in.

Thanks to the daemon, you may focus on what you are interested in: handling an event, without dealing with details such as:

• repeat events previously missed (due to system failure, for instance)
• maintain a shotgun connection and reconnect automatically
• run as system service

• python 2.6 or 2.7
• bshotgun
• a posix compatible platform (e.g. linux, osx) if you want to use the built-in daemonization
• Development
  • nosetests

• much more flexible configuration and plugin system, including environment variable expansion for paths
• created using test-driven development to help assure it remains usable
• make customizations and remix it with ease

• class based plugin's provide imperative means for customizations (but add complexity).
• no reloading of settings or plugins at runtime, until this is supported by the underlying frameworks

• shares one shotgun connection across multiple event processors, only one shotgun connection per daemon
