我有一个用Python编写的应用程序，它是由相当专业的观众(科学家)使用的。
我正在寻找一个好方法，使应用程序可扩展的用户，即脚本/插件架构。
I am looking for something extremely lightweight. Most scripts, or plugins, are not going to be developed and distributed by a third-party and installed, but are going to be something whipped up by a user in a few minutes to automate a repeating task, add support for a file format, etc. So plugins should have the absolute minimum boilerplate code, and require no 'installation' other than copying to a folder (so something like setuptools entry points, or the Zope plugin architecture seems like too much.)
是否已经有类似的系统存在，或者是否有项目实现了类似的方案，我应该看看想法/灵感?
你也可以看看“基础工作”。
其思想是围绕可重用组件(称为模式和插件)构建应用程序。插件是派生自GwBasePattern的类。
这里有一个基本的例子:
from groundwork import App
from groundwork.patterns import GwBasePattern
class MyPlugin(GwBasePattern):
def __init__(self, app, **kwargs):
self.name = "My Plugin"
super().__init__(app, **kwargs)
def activate(self):
pass
def deactivate(self):
pass
my_app = App(plugins=[MyPlugin]) # register plugin
my_app.plugins.activate(["My Plugin"]) # activate it
还有更高级的模式来处理命令行接口、信号或共享对象。
foundation可以通过编程方式将插件绑定到应用程序中，如上面所示，也可以通过setuptools自动查找插件。包含插件的Python包必须使用一个特殊的入口点groundwork.plugin声明这些插件。
这是文件。

扩展@edomaur的回答，我建议看看simple_plugins(无耻的插件)，这是一个简单的插件框架，灵感来自Marty Alchin的工作。
一个基于项目README的简短使用示例:
# All plugin info
>>> BaseHttpResponse.plugins.keys()
['valid_ids', 'instances_sorted_by_id', 'id_to_class', 'instances',
'classes', 'class_to_id', 'id_to_instance']
# Plugin info can be accessed using either dict...
>>> BaseHttpResponse.plugins['valid_ids']
set([304, 400, 404, 200, 301])
# ... or object notation
>>> BaseHttpResponse.plugins.valid_ids
set([304, 400, 404, 200, 301])
>>> BaseHttpResponse.plugins.classes
set([<class '__main__.NotFound'>, <class '__main__.OK'>,
<class '__main__.NotModified'>, <class '__main__.BadRequest'>,
<class '__main__.MovedPermanently'>])
>>> BaseHttpResponse.plugins.id_to_class[200]
<class '__main__.OK'>
>>> BaseHttpResponse.plugins.id_to_instance[200]
<OK: 200>
>>> BaseHttpResponse.plugins.instances_sorted_by_id
[<OK: 200>, <MovedPermanently: 301>, <NotModified: 304>, <BadRequest: 400>, <NotFound: 404>]
# Coerce the passed value into the right instance
>>> BaseHttpResponse.coerce(200)
<OK: 200>
