Code structure
--------------

The core Pipeline2App code base is implemented in the :mod:`pipeline2app.core` module. Extensions
which implement data store connectors and analyses are installed in separate namesapces
(e.g. ``pipeline2app-xnat``).

All ``App`` classes should beimported into the extension package root
(e.g. ``pipeline2app.xnat.__init__.py``) so they can be found by references ``xnat/App``
in the CLI. Extension CLI commands should be implemented as ``click``
commands under the ``pipeline2app.core.cli.ext`` group and imported into the subpackage
root.
