Feature Request: recursive version of set_plugin_dirs

[hugosenari]

Another suggestion,
One function to load plugin from dir module and submodules.

Wouldn't this lead to a possible confusing loading proccess? Did you suggested this thinking about multi-file plugins ?

[hugosenari]

Here is my example
https://github.com/hugosenari/pig

pig / pig
pig / pig / core
pig / pig / modules
pig / pig / modules / maemo

Default version just add 'modules' and don't load plugins from 'maemo'.
With this I can organize modules by target, with this users can create his 'meego' or 'android' submodules

[daltonmatos]

So you are saying that someone could create more folders like this?

pig/pig/modules/maemo
pig/pig/modules/android
pig/pig/modules/meego

If I understand correctly, loading all plugins from all three folders, for example adding pig/pig/modules with set_plugin_dirs(), would load the android implementation even when running on maemo/meego.

If this is correct, wouldn't this cause errors because some dependencies of one platform does not exist in the other?

Hi :)

This is more like pc client for cellphones, than phone app. One thing that I need to do, are split in two projects (or more), one for 'runner' and other for any else.

Remember my idea of a program that can launch python scripts, only to run in background for auxiliar porpouses?

Pig is this program. The idea is put anything that user want in /modules (implementing some of core interfaces). Future version can load /modules from userspace.

modules/maemo is one of scripts, current version read N900 dbus and notify new messages and calls in PC. Future version: new emails, and implement telepathy dbus client (chat, answer call request, etc), control media player, connections...

To control all, these are my alternativies:
1 - Create one big file /pig/pig/modules/maemo.py
2 - Create one litle file (/pig/pig/modules/maemo.py) that load dir (/pig/pig/modules/maemo_modules)
3 - Implement my own recursive version of set_plugin_dirs
4 - Create various files in /pig/pig/modules/maemo_[feature_name].py
