Yes, I had been reading this very page and examined the codes in gluon/
tools.py
It seems to me that PluginManager class is essentially a dictionary
object but I do not see how that translates to how I can use it to
allow users to install and uninstall plugins.
At best it implies that I should have a dictionary in my main
application, such as
session.installed_plugins = {}
and every plugin, there must be a model file with a line that says
something like
session.installed_plugins['plugin A'] = 'I am plugin A'
I am not sure if this is suppose to be the case.
