Again this is much like Eclipse > RCP - but forget that part :-) This is close to beeing trivial in python - just utilize __import__ to dynamically load modules that shall act as plugins. These modules then only have to follow a sort of protocol - lets say you have a module called pluginloader.py that has a register-function. The loaded module could import pluginloader and register itself, or a class defined in itself. Like this -plugin_example.py- import pluginloader class ExamplePlugin(pluginloader.PluginBase): def __init__(self,...): pluginloader.register(ExamplePlugin()) -- Regards, Diez B.

Hum, maybe my question was too specific. What I would really like to know is what is the best way to implement a Python application with a pluggable architecture. In particular, I would like to use wxPython and have plug ins automatically register themselves with the GUI by adding themselves to the mean or adding a tab. Again this is much like Eclipse RCP - but forget that part :-) J Jim Hargrave wrote: Eclipse provides a very nice application framework which supports plug-ins.

I'm building a client side tool using Python/wxPython for our translators and would like to have a pluggable architecture similar to Eclipse RCP thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
