Hi, I created a plugin mechanism for my application orientating at the mechanism described by Martin Alchy in
http://martyalchin.com/2008/jan/10/simple-plugin-framework/ Now I'd like to call methods like `initialize(parent)' when the user chooses to use a plugin. As described in the blog mentioned above, I only have access to the general type called `PluginMount' (holding all the actual plugin instances). I tried to define "abstract" methods in PluginMount type raising a `NotImplementedError' but it seems, there is no late binding (similar to Java), so the right method would be called. Only the message TypeError: unbound method initialize() must be called with GeoCache instance as first argument (got PluginMount instance instead) `GeoCache' would be the plugin type. What is strange, is the fact, that when asking what instances are hold by PluginMount [<class 'geocacheplugin.GeoCache'>] is listed. So it seems, that no late binding is applied when calling the `initialize(self, parent)' method. I'm quite new using Python, so this might be a quite basic question caused by some misunderstandings in general. Feel free to point me to appropriate site to solve my problem. Thanks in advance.
