This looks nice and simple, but I am a bit worried about the configuration file for registration. My experience is that end users don't like editing files much. I understand that may be considered as bikesheding, but have you considered a system analog to bzr instead ? A plugin is a directory somewhere, which means that disabling it is just removing a directory. In my experience, it is more reliable from a user POV than e.g. the hg way of doing things. The plugin system of bzr is one of the thing that I still consider the best in its category, even though I stopped using bzr for quite some time. The registration was incredibly robust and easy to use from a user and developer POV, David _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
