Well, I appreciate the code sharing you did, but the helper function
is nice and compact, and I didn't have much trouble following it. I
ended up doing the following in the backends/__init__.py:
import os
availableBackendsList = []
for module in os.listdir(__path__[0]):
if not module.startswith("__") and not module.startswith("."):
availableBackendsList.append("backends." + module)
def subpackage_import(name):
mod = __import__(name)
components = name.split('.')
for comp in components[1:]:
mod = getattr(mod, comp)
return mod
def get_available_backends():
return map(subpackage_import, availableBackendsList)
In then in my application code, it becomes a simple matter of:
import backends
for x in backends.get_available_backends():
print x.PLUGIN_NAME
be = x.Backend()
print be.getStatus()
Basically, I borrowed a page out of Dive into Python[1] and mapped
each module object (system1, system2, ... systemN) to a list.
