BOSS: Configuration driven object/HERO starter

BOSS is a service that instantiates python objects as HEROs based on a JSON configuration. The configuration can be read from a file, a URL (e.g. from a CouchDB) or from an environment variable. Basically, BOSS allows you to quickly mask your arbitrary python object as a HERO and to run it.

The configuration sources (for example an URL specified by the -u command line argument) can be reloaded in-situ without disturbing the running HEROs by using boss.boss.BOSS.refresh_hero_sources(). Sources can also be added and removed by using boss.boss.BOSS.add_hero_source() or by manipulating the boss.boss.BOSS.sources list directly.
