Hah, on the KTrader question, I found the docs on techbase at
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Services/Traders#The_KTrader_Query_Language.
Thoughts on the main question still welcome...

&gt;<br>
&gt; Right. It should just be an item in the list, no tree, please. It would<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; I think, it would be even better if the list could show the python<br>

&gt; &gt; even if PATE is not loaded and load pate on demand. python plugins +<br>
&gt; &gt; desktopfiles and automatic dependency resolution<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Yes, the correct solution is that all python plugins provide a .desktop<br>
&gt; file. The contents then would basically look like:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; [Desktop Entry]<br>
&gt; Type=Service<br>
&gt; ServiceTypes=Kate/PythonPlugin<br>
&gt; X-KDE-Library=python-plugin-folder or so...<br>
&gt; X-Kate-Version=3.0<br>
&gt; Name=Plugin name<br>
&gt; Comment=Plugin description<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; The Kate plugin manager would then query for both, &quot;Kate/Plugin&quot;<br>
&gt; ServiceTypes and &quot;Kate/PythonPlugin&quot;. As soon as such a plugin is \
loaded,<br> &gt; Kate<br>
&gt; automatically loads the Pate-host, and then forwards the call to the Python-<br>
&gt; Plugin to load the correspronding plugin.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; For this to happen and accept in Kate, I&#39;d like to have a rather tight<br>
&gt; review of what the PythonPlugin with respect to the following items:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; 1. Which API does the PythonPlugin provide? All of interfaces/kate/* ?<br>
&gt;      My requirement would be: 100% of this interfaces should be implemented.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; 2. What additional features does the PythonPlugin give in addition to the<br>
&gt;      interfaces in interfaces/kate/* ?<br>
&gt;      My requirement: Keep it as low as possible, preferrably close to 0<br>
&gt; addons. Why? Because IF you need addons, these are most likely also usable<br>
&gt; for C++ plugins. And in that case, it should be properly exposed and<br>
&gt; implemented in interfaces/kate/*<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; 3. What is missing or nice to have in interfaces/kate/?<br>
&gt;      Any interfaces you need and miss?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Finally a remark: Currently, all Python plugin are completely hidden behind<br>
&gt; the Pate-host plugin. And that is a tremendous advantage, since it keeps all<br>
&gt; the rest of Kate untouched. This also means you are flexible to change API,<br>
&gt; for instance. Once Python support gets more pulled into Kate itself,<br>
&gt; chaning this will be much harder in the long run.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I&#39;d prefer to have all the python plugins listed along with all the \
other<br> &gt; plugins. However, I&#39;d rather prefer not to rush this, and if \

5.<br> &gt;<br>

&gt; &gt; &gt; i have a more radical idea: get rid of the separate Paté plugin \
list.<br> &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; for the end user (as you said) it's not clear that Paté just \
enables<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; another list of plugins, which makes those plugins \
unnecessarily hidden.<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; also i as end user wouldn't care where the \
plugins i enable come from.<br> &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; ————<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; i think we should<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; 1. if it's not already done, make the plugin list extensible by \
allowing<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; adding more plugin providers&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;      make the plugin list into a treeview (like the Paté plugin list \
is)<br> &gt; &gt; &gt;      with each provider being a node, and it's plugins being a \
tree below<br> &gt; &gt; &gt;      that.&gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; 2. split Paté into such a plugin provider and a plugin that \
provides<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; Paté's remaining functionality (the documentation tab \
and the "reload<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; modules" button for Paté plugin developers)<br>

&gt; &gt; &gt; I don&#39;t like the name of the &quot;Python plugins&quot;... With \
this name I would<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; think that these are plugins for Python, plugins \
with features to<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; python.... but this is not true. There are \
features to python, js, c++,<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; xml, etc<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; I think that we should change this name and the description, \
&quot;Pâté host<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; for Python Plugins&quot;.<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; I think that the name could be: &quot;Python plugin engine&quot;, and \
the<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; description, &quot;If you enable this plugin you will have \
another list of<br> &gt; &gt; &gt; the<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; plugins write in python&quot;.<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; do you think about this??<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; Best regards,<br>
&gt;<br>

</div></div>I still wish for a more official (or so to speak) Python API for Kate, \
as<br> already somewhat indirectly stated in this bug report:<br>
<a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312169" \
target="_blank">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312169</a>. It&#39;s really a \
mess of an<br> interface for a normal user who has little to no understanding of \
Kate&#39;s<br> internals.<br>
