Python Dynamic Plugins

In a nutshell Python Dynamic plugins is a small library for manage Python plugins dynamically.

Quickstart

This library load and execute plugins dynamically.

It allows to load installed Python libraries with some constraints:

• Module names starts with some word.
• Load specific module on each Python library.
• Loas specific function on a module.

This main idea of the project is to be able to create a plugin system which is easy to use and easy to maintain.

Install

> pip install dynamic-plugins

Usage

For this example we'll use the demo package demo_module that you can find in the demo_plugins folder.

Installing the demo plugin

> cd demo_plugins/demo_module
> pip install . -U

Load the function hello_world from the plugin:

from dynamic_plugins import get_modules

def main():
    functions = get_modules("demo-", entrypoint_module="setup", entrypoint_function="hello_world")

    for fn in functions:
        fn()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
