I run Leo-editor under Ubuntu 10.04. I installed Leo-editor from
leo_4.8-1_all.deb. This installation put the Leo-editor source files
into subtree /usr/share/pyshared/leo and it put soft links
to these files in subtree /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/leo.
I wrote a plugin and put it in file
/home/bob/svnMyWork/LeoBob02/clone_nav.py. To debug my plugin, I made a
soft link: /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/leo/plugins/clone_nav.py. And
I enabled clone_nav.py in myLeoSettings.leo.
This caused clone_nav to be loaded and initialized. My plugin seemed to
work fine. But there was no clone_nav entry in the Plugins menu. I dug
into this problem for a day or two and learned enough to conjecture that
if I made a soft link /usr/share/pyshared/leo/plugins/clone_nav.py, then
clone_nav would appear in the Plugins menu. This conjecture proved to
be true.
File leoPlugins.py in the Leo core uses function __import__().
In my case this loads .py files from directory
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/leo/plugins.
File plugins_menu.py only considers .py files in directory:
os.path.join(g.app.loadDir,"..","plugins")
In my case this is directory /usr/share/pyshared/leo/plugins.
Are there good reasons for this inconsistency? I hope you were already
aware of the inconsistency and that it is not causing other problems of
which I'm unaware.
