Plug-in System

Learn about how things happen in Pyblish.
Introduction
There are three ways in which a plug-in is associated with a particular set of data.
1.By availability
2.By host
3.By family
Availability is determined by registering a given plug-in to Pyblish, for example by calling register_plugin_path(). Once a plug-in is made available, it must also match the currently running host.
class MyPlugin(...):
  hosts = ["maya"]
If the host matches, a plug-in is put to the final test; it's supported families.
class MyPlugin(...):
  families = ["myFamily"]
