""" This module implements the plugin api bits. Two things about things in this module: 1. they should be excessively well documented because we should pull from this file for the docs 2. they should be well tested How do plugins work? ==================== Plugins are structured like any Python project. You create a Python package. In that package, you define a high-level ``__init__.py`` module that has a ``hooks`` dict that maps hooks to callables that implement those hooks. Additionally, you want a LICENSE file that specifies the license and a ``setup.py`` that specifies the metadata for packaging your plugin. A rough file structure could look like this:: myplugin/ |- setup.py # plugin project packaging metadata |- README # holds plugin project information |- LICENSE # holds license information |- myplugin/ # plugin package directory |- __init__.py # has hooks dict and code Lifecycle ========= 1. All the modules listed as subsections of the ``plugins`` section in the config file are imported. MediaGoblin registers any hooks in the ``hooks`` dict of those modules. 2. After all plugin modules are imported, the ``setup`` hook is called allowing plugins to do any set up they need to do.
