lightweight python plugin system supporting config inheritance
To use
There is a full example at https://github.com/20c/pluginmgr/tree/master/tests/pluginmgr_test
Create the manager, for example in a module __init__.py file
import pluginmgr # this is the namespace string that import uses namespace = 'pluginmgr_test.plugins' # directories to look in, string or list of strings searchpath = 'path/to/search/in' # determines if this should create a blank loader to import through. This # should be enabled if there isn't a real module path for the namespace and # disabled for sharing the namespace with static modules # default is False create_loader = False plugin = pluginmgr.PluginManager(namespace, searchpath, create_loader)
Create and register a plugin, note the filename needs to be the same as registered name
from pluginmgr_test import plugin # register a plugin named mod0 @plugin.register('mod0') class Mod0(pluginmgr.PluginBase): pass
See the dict containing all registered plugins
from pluginmgr_test import plugin # dict of all registered plugins print(plugin.registry)
