Thanks Massimo, That was a really good call! I think I messed things
up while I was creating a prototype for an automated plugin creator
made some, um, adjustments so that my generated plugins where really
organized, but apparently not functioning as expected because I forgot
about that little exception with the model file and not files. LOL, I
go t confused trying to make things clearer...

and perhaps I noticed a similar effect when checking out the
powerpack, hummm, how very interesting but unexpected.

This is what my plugin generator and the resulting plugins looked like
before:

plugin_uc_plugin.py
plugin_uc_plugin/initialization.py
plugin_uc_plugin/menu.py

in the above case a response.menu += [ bla bla] in plugin_uc_plugin/
menu.py does NOT show up when visiting  
http://127.0.0.1:8000/app/default/index.html
but does show up when visiting http://127.0.0.1:8000/app/plugin_uc_plugin/index

If you consolidating the contents of plugin_uc_plugin/menu.py into
plugin_uc_plugin.py a response.menu += [ bla bla] will show up in
http://127.0.0.1:8000/app/default/index.html

I have not experimented with the contents of plugin_uc_plugin/
initialization.py yet but that could be interesting as well...

the test plugin generator, plugin_plugin will generate a plugin called
plugin_font_gothic with the following three files in the models if you
want to check uut the effect. the menu.py has assignes the menus to
response.menu += [ my menus ] as well:

plugin_font_gothic.py
plugin_font_gothic/initialization.py
plugin_font_gothic/menu.py
...

If you want to check it out the beginnings of a plugin to create
plugins you can check it out here for now. if anyone has an idea of
how to implement Web2py templates rather than using mako templates I
can remove that dependence which could be nice since mako seems to
have trouble dealling with two or more hash signs -> ##, for now
something like:

pip install mako
hg clone https://uc-theme-dev.googlecode.com/hg/ uc_theme_dev

will get you going.

I will move the plugin here after a little more cleanup.

hg clone https://uc-plugin-dev.googlecode.com/hg/ uc_plugin_dev
