util.py is cluttered

[Aaron Williamson]

mediagoblin/util.py is like our junk drawer for any functionality
we want to abstract out of a particular view, and it's starting to
get ugly. At present, it contains methods related to: testing,
templating, request processing, user sessions, dynamic component
importing, urls/slugs, email, translation, data sanitizing,and
pagination. Most of these categories are functionally distinct from
the others and could be separated out into different files
according to category, e.g.:

mediagoblin/tools
- tests.py
- templates.py
- requests.py
- text\_processing.py
- etc.

Once a structure is decided upon, imports referencing util.py will
have to be updated.

Assigning to Aaron Williamson!

We release 0.0.4, so I'm bumping this to 0.0.5.

Heya Aaron,

I wonder what your state is on this. But presumably this must be a
really terrible one to come back to because every time things are
added to util.py or changed it becomes hard to deal with
factored-out stuff.

If you can't get to this immediately at least maybe a good thing to
help us right now would be either for you to:


-  push up a branch showing things as you have them (don't need to
   merge with master)
-  or, list the way you intended to separate things out, which
   files for what, etc.

So I haven't heard back on this for a while, so I'm going to
probably try and sprint on this today. Will report back if that
turns out to be successful ;)

If not, well I'll be gone for two weeks so I'll assign it back.

As I said in #mediagoblin, splitting this up required some
arbitrary choices and I'm not sure I made them all in the most
sensible ways, but anyway it seems to work. I'm happy to make any
appropriate revisions.

[Christopher Allan Webber]

This is good to go! Merged :)
