Stable interfaces and functionality for Snakemake executor plugins

This package provides a stable interface for interactions between Snakemake and its executor plugins (WIP).

Plugins should implement the following skeleton to comply with this interface. It is recommended to use Snakemake's poetry plugin to set up this skeleton (and automated testing) within a python package, see https://github.com/snakemake/poetry-snakemake-plugin.

from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import List, Generator, Optional
from snakemake_interface_executor_plugins.executors.base import SubmittedJobInfo
from snakemake_interface_executor_plugins.executors.remote import RemoteExecutor
from snakemake_interface_executor_plugins.settings import (
    ExecutorSettingsBase, CommonSettings
)
from snakemake_interface_executor_plugins.workflow import WorkflowExecutorInterface
from snakemake_interface_executor_plugins.logging import LoggerExecutorInterface
from snakemake_interface_executor_plugins.jobs import (
    JobExecutorInterface,
)

# Optional:
# Define additional settings for your executor.
# They will occur in the Snakemake CLI as --<executor-name>-<param-name>
# Omit this class if you don't need any.
# Make sure that all defined fields are Optional and specify a default value
# of None or anything else that makes sense in your case.
@dataclass
class ExecutorSettings(ExecutorSettingsBase):
    myparam: Optional[int] = field(
        default=None,

            # Optionally request that setting is also available for specification
            # via an environment variable. The variable will be named automatically as
            # SNAKEMAKE_<executor-name>_<param-name>, all upper case.
            # This mechanism should only be used for passwords and usernames.
            # For other items, we rather recommend to let people use a profile
            # for setting defaults
            # (https://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/stable/executing/cli.html#profiles).

            "parse_func": ...,
            # If a parse_func is specified, you also have to specify an unparse_func
            # that converts the parsed value back to a string.

        # Other parts of those objects are NOT guaranteed to remain
        # stable across new releases.

        # To ensure that the used interfaces are not changing, you should
        # depend on these packages as >=a.b.c,<d with d=a+1 (i.e. pin the
