Hi. I'm hacking up an irc bot in python using Joel Rosdahl's irclib. I want to be able to add plugins to my bot, without having to restart it.
In specific, I would have a directory called "plugins". Into this, I would place scripts that the bot could load as plugins, whenever I give it the instruction to "rehash". I figured the most practical way to do this, is to have each plugin script file basically contain a class that the program can load as an object. So I need a subroutine that can import all the classes in the plugins/ directory at start up. When instructed to rehash, it also needs to be able to destroy all the objects it currently has in memory, and reload all the class files in the plugins/ directory. What's the most practical way to do this? Thanks in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
