Brilliant. That one's pretty well hidden and labeled "should be used for internal and specialized purposes only". Guess I'm officially special. :-) To implement this with minimal requirements on the author of the plugin, I created a function in master.py: def GetKey(): ns = sys._getframe(2).f_locals return ns['VALUABLE'] Now the plugin gets the useful info simply: import master print master.GetKey() Though it would be nice if this info could somehow be "injected" into the namespace of plugin.py without this, I can live with two lines.
