The Service is the core component of the TileCache Server: various services
(wsgi, cgi, mod_python) feed into it. You can see the properties::

    >>> import TileCache.Service
    >>> filter(lambda x: not x.startswith("_"), dir(TileCache.Service))
    ['cache', 'config', 'dispatchRequest', 'expireTile', 'files', 'generate_crossdomain_xml', 'layers', 'load', 'loadFromSection', 'metadata', 'renderTile', 'tilecache_options']

Or you can create one. In general, this is generated via the config file,
but you can build one manually as well::

    >>> from TileCache.Caches.Disk import Disk
    >>> from TileCache.Layer import Layer, Tile
    >>> l = Layer("basic", debug=False) 
    >>> t = Tile(l, 0, 0, 0)
    >>> service = TileCache.Service(Disk("/tmp/tilecache"), {"layer": l})
    >>> service # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
    <TileCache.Service.Service object at ...>

The Service dispatchRequest method is what actually generates the tiles. It calls
out to the layer's renderTile method. On the base Layer class, nothing is
returned: all renderTile implementation is done by subclasses. As a result,
rendering the tile fails on this layer::

    >>> try:
    ...     tile_data = service.dispatchRequest({}, path_info="/1.0.0/layer/0/0/0.png")
    ... except Exception, E:
    ...     str(E)
    'Zero length data returned from layer.'

KML SuperOverlays can be generated as an alternative output to the TMS-style
requests: simply change the image format to ".kml".

    >>> kml = service.dispatchRequest({}, path_info="/1.0.0/layer/0/0/0.kml")
    >>> kml[0]
    'application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml'
    >>> kml[1]
