7 PostProcessor objects can be added to downloaders with their
8 add_post_processor() method. When the downloader has finished a
9 successful download, it will take its internal chain of PostProcessors
10 and start calling the run() method on each one of them, first with
11 an initial argument and then with the returned value of the previous
12 PostProcessor.
13
14 The chain will be stopped if one of them ever returns None or the end
15 of the chain is reached.

17 PostProcessor objects follow a "mutual registration" process similar
18 to InfoExtractor objects.
