Writing plugins for Segno
=========================
:py:class:`segno.QRCode` provides a plugin architecture which utilizes egg
entry points.
All plugins must use the ``segno.plugin.converter`` entry point to be recognized.
If a plugin is detected, the user may use the the plugin by calling ``to_XXX``
where ``XXX`` refers to the plugin name.
The specific plugin is invoked by providing the :py:class:`segno.QRCode`
instance and any further arguments or keywords.
Simple plugin
-------------
This section explains how to write a plugin which writes to ``stdout`` and uses
``X`` for dark modules and ``_`` for light modules.
Content of ``simple_plugin.py``:
.. code-block:: python
import sys
def write(qrcode):
write = sys.stdout.write
for row in qrcode.matrix:
for col in row:
write('X' if col else '_')
write('\n')
``setup.py``:
.. code-block:: python
setup(
name='simple-plugin',
version='1.0',
license='BSD',
author='John Doe',
author_email='john@example.org',
platforms=['any'],
py_modules=['simple_plugin'],
entry_points="""
[segno.plugin.converter]
simple = simple_plugin:write
""",
install_requires=['segno'],
)
Once installed, it's possible to call this plugin via:
.. code-block:: python
>>> import segno
>>> qrcode = segno.make('Chelsea Hotel No. 2')
>>> qrcode.to_simple()
