Managing plug-ins

[Benjamin Schollnick]

Did you ever find anything that met your requirements?

If not, I have a prototype that I need to build out some more…

https://github.com/bschollnick/PyPlugInMgr <https://github.com/bschollnick/PyPlugInMgr>

I use it for some home grown utilities, but it needs to be fleshed out some more…
If you’re interested feel free to take a look.
