Thonny Plugin Development

[John Giftakis]

Hi, I am trying to make a Thonny plugin that will fetch remote .py files and will load them in editor.

I started by downloading Black Formatter plugin that is available in https://thonny.org/#plugins

I changed the __init__.py content to the simple example:

from thonny import get_workbench
from tkinter.messagebox import showinfo

def hello():
    showinfo("Hello!", "Thonny rules!")

def load_plugin():
    get_workbench().add_command(command_id="hello",
                                menu_name="tools",
                                command_label="Hello!",
                                handler=hello)

But I get error when I am trying Tools > Manage Plugins > Import Local Zip

Something that setup.py or pyproject.toml is not found, although they are present.

Any ideas or a simple (detailed) to follow guide on how to make a Plugin from scratch?

Br, John

I found the error. I should have issued

python3 -m build

in the thonny-myplugin-v0.0.1 directory first 

and then I should upload the compressed file within Thonny.
