Class PlugIn

source code

Abstract xmpppy plugin infrastructure code, providing plugging in/out and debugging functionality

Inherit to develop pluggable objects. No code change on the owner class required (the object where we plug into)

For every instance of PlugIn class the 'owner' is the class in what the plug was plugged.
