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. 1.
    By availability
  2. 2.
    By host
  3. 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"]
