---------------------------------
What is the status here [~otto]?
> 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
> Assignee: Otto Fowler
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
