manage dynamic plugins for Python applications

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Python makes loading code dynamically easy, allowing you to configure and extend your application by discovering and loading extensions ("*plugins*") at runtime. Many applications implement their own library for doing this, using ``__import__`` or ``importlib``. stevedore avoids creating yet another extension mechanism by building on top of `setuptools entry points`. The code for managing entry points tends to be repetitive, though, so stevedore provides manager classes for implementing common patterns for using dynamically loaded extensions.
