Products.PluginRegistry 1.3b1

Configure application plugins based on interfaces

Products.PluginRegistry

Products.PluginRegistry offers a simple persistent registry which allows the site manager to registe components for specific interfaces, and to order them.

Installation

The normal way it install this package is via setuptools, either via easy_install into a virtual environment:

$ cd /path/to/virtualenv
$ bin/easy_install Products.PluginRegistry

or by including the package in the configuration for a zc.buildout-based deployment:

$ cd /path/to/buildout
$ grep "eggs =" buildout.cfg
...
eggs = Products.PluginRegistry
...

The product can also be installed as a depencency of another distribution.

To install this package manually, without using setuptools, untar the package file downloaded from the PyPI site and look for the folder named “PluginRegistry” underneath the “Products” folder at the root of the extracted tarball. Copy or link this “PluginRegistry” folder into your Zope “Products” folder and restart Zope.
