pkgcore.plugin module

Plugin system, heavily inspired by twisted’s plugin system.

This assumes all plugins for this key have a priority attribute. If any of them do not the AttributeError is not stopped.

Returns:

highest-priority plugin or None if no plugin available.

pkgcore.plugin.get_plugins(key, package=None)

Return all enabled plugins matching “key”.

Plugins with a C{disabled} attribute evaluating to C{True} are skipped.

pkgcore.plugin.initialize_cache(package, force=False, cache_dir=None)

Determine available plugins in a package.

Writes cache files if they are stale and writing is possible.
