Plugins modules required to be packages

See original GitHub issue

I can’t really get slackbot to work with my custom modules at all (I’m on Python 3.5) but I thought I’d document one of the major hurdles I discovered while I wrangle on.

The import hook code is guaranteed to fail if a simple Python module is specified rather than a package. That’s because submodule_search_locations is None in that case. If this is an intended limitation (though I can’t imagine why it would be) it should be documented as such.

Just for anyone who comes along later, you need to make sure you have an __init__.py as well in the folder you specify, in order to make sure it’s a proper Python package. You also need to make sure it’s in your sys.path (e.g. by proper installation into site-packages or manipulating the PYTHONPATH environment.

Try just ‘myplugins’ ; let me know if works

I am stuck on the same thing (Python 3.5.1). I cannot get my own plugins to work (myplugins/myplugin.py), keep getting: AttributeError: module ‘myplugins.myplugin’ has no attribute ‘path’`

Could you please walk me through, what you did to make it work?
