Thanks Jean-Paul, that worked great, with both distutils.core.setup and twisted.python.dist.setup. When I used the latter I didn't need to regenerate the plugin cache, twistd picked up the new command immediately after install. Is this the advantage of twisted.python.dist.setup ?
Not quite. twisted.python.dist is an internal module, not part of Twisted's public API. Notice this line in its docstring:
API Stability: Unstable. Don't use it outside of Twisted.
Understood. I'm happy with the solution using distutils.core.setup and forcing a plugin cache refresh. btw, the "Plugin Caching" section on http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/plugin.html#auto3 has an error. The sample code uses "getPlugin" but it should be getPlugins. i.e. I needed to use (with Twisted 2.5.0): {{{ from twisted.plugin import IPlugin, getPlugins list(getPlugins(IPlugin)) }}} Cheers, Chris Miles
