Hi all

I'm trying to design a web based application which should allow
extending it's functionality with plug-ins. The main idea is to have a
core pylons application configured with the main css, a header, menu
and footer and some core functionality to fill the content pane. This
application should also take care of authentication and authorization.
This core application should function by itself, packaged as an egg
and be installable using easy_install.

When adding functionality, I would like to create separate eggs which
should hook into the core application (dependent of the core egg). It
could be triggered by the menu from the core application and display
itself in the content pane of the core application. This will allow
dynamic addition of new plug-ins/functionality to the core
application.

Does anyone have any examples or ideas on how this could be
accomplished using Pylons?

I looked into maybe defining composite application in the core
development.ini referring to plug-ins but this would mean that that
ini-file would have to be updated when adding/removing plug-ins and it
would be smoother to let the core application dynamically detect what
known plug-ins are present.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
