Makes debugging of plugins easier under WingIDE (which does not remember - at least it looks like that - the "ignore exception at this location" option when module is imported 'manually').
This could also be applied to src/remote_control.py .
Ability to register new incoming network events (based on exisiting one) added. Modify-only network events are possible (eg. add some text each message, but don't create any new global event). Events creation can be chained.
Examples of new network events classes are in New Events Example plugin.
Events from src/gajim.py now all go through Global Events Dispatcher and only through it (easy to modify, in chain, data passed with them).
Events previously generated for D-Bus support in remote_control.py go through Global Events Dispatcher now - this means any plugin can subscribe to them.
Implemented D-Bus support plugin based on remote_control.py.
Length Notifier Plugin has configuration dialog (added entry with JIDs to be included when plugin is working) - fully usable.
Default values of configuration key has been added to GajimPlugin.
Some other minor changes/fixes.
Example plug-ins were modified to use init() instead of __init__().
Added new category in configuration - 'plugins'. It only holds one option for each plugin - 'active', which determines whether plugin should be activated on startup.
Now, Gajim remembers which plugins are active on exit, and activates them on next startup.
Added 'homepage' attribute to Plugin class.
Added (commented out) calls of pycallgraph in src/gajim.py for later use.
[xbright] Changed 'python' to 'python2.5' because code uses modules not available in previous versions of Python.
- basic PluginManager class that loads plugins from *.py files
in given directories
- Singleton metaclass was created to use with PluginManager;
notice: __init__ of class is called only once (not like in code
that is included in Python Cookbook)
- variable to keep paths of plugin directories has been created
(common.gajim.PLUGINS_DIRS); also added initilization of these
paths to common.ConfigPaths
- added global variable with PluginManager object:
common.gajim.plugin_manager
- created customized logger for plugin system ('gajim.plugin_system')
- created function decorator plugins.helpers.log_calls which logs
each call of function/method; it also logs when function is left
- base class Plugin for plug-in implementation added; not much
here - only empty class attributes: name, short_name, authors,
version, description
- based on Plugin class, first plugin was created named
LengthNotifierPlugin; it is used to notify users when they
exceed given length of message during writing it (text entry
field highlights)
- first GUI extension points works when ChatControl object
is created (it is used in mentioned plugin)
- added 'epydoc.conf' file customized a little bit (file
is also in trunk now)
- fixed indentation in common.sleepy module (also in trunk
now)
