[Avocado-devel] avocado doesn't see plugins

[Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues]

There's a flag to do a user local install instead of system wide,
which I forgot, but Lukas might remember it.

If you are going to over simplify what was done, yes, we are 'forcing'
the user to install a pointer for the libraries inside a system wide
library dir. Now if you use the local install, that will be restricted
into the user's profile.

I promise this was all done for a good reason. Having plugins
installed as setuptools entry points is more clear and standard than
our previous custom method.

Unfortunately, my new job's assignments are leaving me busy, so I have
limited time to spend with this. I'll try to help by answering and
delegating tasks, like I just did :)
