Greetings,

Note that's a random version of the documentation from who knows how
long ago. If you want a random version of the documentation then I
suggest using http://twisted.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ instead.
suggests that I can also set the PYTHONPATH to a directory:
Sure. As a development environment trick. Putting the module defining
your plugin into *the* twisted/plugins/ directory will reduce your
runtime cost. This is purely a deployment decision, though, so if you'd
rather expand PYTHONPATH then you can.
"""if a directory which has been added to sys.path (typically by
adding it to the PYTHONPATH environment variable) contains a directory
named twisted/plugins/ , each .py file in that directory will be
loaded as a source of plugins."""
I'm using twisted 13.2.0 in a virtualenv... and I've tried setting
PYTHONPATH to a "twisted/plugins" directory no avail. I must be doing
something wrong here but after scouring the docs and twisted source
code... I'm just not sure.
I don't think there's enough information here to debug your problem.
Try coming up with an http://sscce.org/ or at least providing all of the
details about your setup - the exact value of PYTHONPATH, the command
you use to launch the program, the working directory you use, the
complete, exact filesystem hierarchy starting at the top-most directory
containing any code you wrote or expect to be in use, etc.
Some random suggestions that have helped other people and might help you
but who knows:
* delete all the dropin.cache files you can find and try again
* delete all the .pyc files you can find and try again
* put absolute paths into PYTHONPATH, not relative paths
* don't put "/foo/bar/twisted/plugins" into PYTHONPATH, put "/foo/bar"
* Make sure your plugin *provides* the plugin interface and IPlugin.
This is not the same *implementing* those interfaces.
Good luck,
Jean-Paul
