Support for Python plugins
Milestone ID: 75
- KMyMoney already supports plugins through the exposed APIs (see the
*interface.cppfiles), so the same would be made available for Python scripting - KMyMoney also has a
Woobplugin, which interfaces Python, so all that is needed is to refactor it into a more universal API. - Krita has built-in PyQT5 Python interpreter and a Python Plug-in manager. Some plugins are included with the source code and provided with Krita installation packages, but can also be loaded in the app using externally-provided zip files
- they don't use Craft for packaging and use custom scripts instead, which also handle Python interpreter and plugins packaging (see e.g. 1,2)
