PluginBase is a Python library for building flexible plugin systems in applications. It manages plugin discovery and loading through virtual packages and search paths.
Use cases
- add a plugin system to my python app
- load plugins from multiple directories
- let users extend my application with python modules
- discover and import plugins at runtime
- build an extensible cli tool
When to choose
- you need a lightweight, simple plugin loading mechanism for Python
- you want plugins organized in separate directories loaded via a virtual package
- you prefer a minimal library with a small API surface
When to avoid
- you need entry-point based plugin discovery for installed packages
- you need sandboxing or isolation of plugin code
- the project appears unmaintained and you need long-term support
