Recursively Nested Bootstrap
----------------------------

This demonstrates the library's ability to use slave contexts to recursively
proxy connections to additional slave contexts, with a uniform API to any
slave, and all features (function calls, import forwarding, stdio forwarding,
log forwarding) functioning transparently.

This example uses a chain of local contexts for clarity, however SSH and sudo
contexts work identically.

nested.py:

.. code-block:: python

    import os
    import mitogen.utils

    @mitogen.utils.run_with_router
    def main(router):
        mitogen.utils.log_to_file()

        context = None
        for x in range(1, 11):
            print 'Connect local%d via %s' % (x, context)
            context = router.local(via=context, name='local%d' % x)

        context.call(os.system, 'pstree -s python -s mitogen')


Output:

.. code-block:: shell

    $ python nested.py
    Connect local1 via None
    Connect local2 via Context(1, 'local1')
    Connect local3 via Context(2, 'local2')
    Connect local4 via Context(3, 'local3')
    Connect local5 via Context(4, 'local4')
    Connect local6 via Context(5, 'local5')
    Connect local7 via Context(6, 'local6')
    Connect local8 via Context(7, 'local7')
    Connect local9 via Context(8, 'local8')
    Connect local10 via Context(9, 'local9')
