vidlu.extensions

Names of extension packages have to start with “vidlu_”. This corresponds to the naming convention approach described here: https://packaging.python.org/guides/creating-and-discovering-plugins/#using-naming-convention The prefix is removed when accessing the extension via vidlu.extensions.extensions.ext_name if the name of the package is vidlu_ext_name.

For non-installed packages, add the path of the directory containing extensions to PYTHONPATH. `PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/my/plugins/path"`
