The status of the python plugin #1261

While trying to develop a plugin using python I’ve made the following observations:

  1. The python plugin is off by default. This is in contrast to all other plugins, except farftp.
  2. Consequently it is not included into .deb-packages
  3. There is no mechanism to automatically load python scripts on far2l startup (or am I missing something?)
  4. (minor) There is no way to add plugin menu item just for editor. If it is added to plugin menu for editor, it will be present in the plugin menu for panels.

These observations led me to the conclusion that python plugin is not 100% ready for production use.

@m32, could you please clarify the intended use for the python plugin?

I mean, are end users supposed to use some python scripts with the help of this plugin or it is just for quick creation of PoC before implementing plugin in C?
