[TurboGears] EntryPoints [was: shopping cart and catalog system]

[Jeff Watkins]

Can anyone point me to a quick example of how this actually works? I've looked at the setup tools web site, but I didn't understand it.

TurboGears defines EntryPoints as a way for people to plug in new functionality. If an egg includes pieces that fulfill an EntryPoint, then just installing the egg is enough for TurboGears to spot them. You can already add tg-admin commands this way! (This will be used for widgets, Toolbox tools, etc.)
