Otto Fowler created PLC4X-251: --------------------------------- Summary: PLC4PY -> Boostrap Pluggy / Entry point / Extensions for driver discovery and loading Key: PLC4X-251 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLC4X-251 Project: Apache PLC4X Issue Type: New Feature Reporter: Otto Fowler
Python does not have the service provider API like java for loading drivers, but setup tools does support declarative methods to register plugins. Along with the pluggy project, this will give the ability to load drivers as plugins. This is also supported by poetry. This will allow 3rd parties to provide driver support ( or other extensions should we want to support them ) just through their installations. We will need a follow on to document writing an external package and supporting this. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/PLC4X/Project+Setup https://dev.to/demianbrecht/entry-points-in-python-34i3 https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/writing_plugins.html#pip-installable-plugins https://python-poetry.org/docs/pyproject/#plugins -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
