Plugins

Utility functions for handling plugins, eg. importing, downloading, listing, confirming, etc.

Functions:

`import_plugins`([plugin_dir])	Import all plugins in the plugin (or supplied) directory.
`unload_plugins`()	Un-import imported plugins (mostly for testing purposes)
`list_wiki_plugins`()	List plugins available on the wiki using `utils.wiki.ask()`

import_plugins(plugin_dir: Path | None = None) → dict[source]

Import all plugins in the plugin (or supplied) directory.

There is no specific form for a plugin at the moment, so this function will recursively import all modules and packages within the directory.

Plugins can then be accessed by the get() registry functions.

Parameters:: plugin_dir (None, pathlib.Path) – Directory to import. if None (default), use prefs.get('PLUGINDIR').
Returns:: of imported objects with form {“class_name”: class_object}
Return type:: dict

unload_plugins()[source]: Un-import imported plugins (mostly for testing purposes)

list_wiki_plugins()[source]

List plugins available on the wiki using utils.wiki.ask()
