(Constructor)

source code

Create the plugin manager and record the ConfigParser instance that will be used afterwards.

The config_change_trigger argument can be used to set a specific method to call when the configuration is altered. This will let the client application manage the way they want the configuration to be updated (e.g. write on file at each change or at precise time intervalls or whatever....)

Overrides: PluginManager.PluginManagerDecorator.__init__

setCategoriesFilter(self, categories_filter)

source code

Set the categories of plugins to be looked for as well as the way to recognise them.

The categories_filter first defines the various categories in which the plugins will be stored via its keys and it also defines the interface tha has to be inherited by the actual plugin class belonging to each category.

A call to this class will also reset the mapping of the latest version for each plugin.

loadPlugins(self, callback=None)

source code

Load the candidate plugins that have been identified through a previous call to locatePlugins.

In addition to the baseclass functionality, this subclass also needs to find the latest version of each plugin.
