Retirable resources

A Python library for using Google Cloud Firestore to manage resources have a lifecycle: creation -> use -> retirement.

During "use", each resource can be used for different purposes by a set of "owners". Each owner can retire their use of the resource independently of other owners. When all owners have retired a resource, it is automatically retired.

Testing

Run the emulator with firebase emulators:start --project foo

Then run the tests with python -m unittest

TODO
