Extensions allow extending the debugger without modifying the debugger code. This is implemented with explicit namespace packages. To implement your own extension: 1. Ensure that the root folder of your extension is in sys.path (add it to PYTHONPATH) 2. Ensure that your module follows the directory structure below 3. The ``__init__.py`` files inside the pydevd_plugin and extension folder must contain the preamble below, and nothing else. Preamble: ```python try: __import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__) except ImportError: import pkgutil __path__ = pkgutil.extend_path(__path__, __name__) ``` 4. Your plugin name inside the extensions folder must start with `"pydevd_plugin"` 5. Implement one or more of the abstract base classes defined in `_pydevd_bundle.pydevd_extension_api`. This can be done by either inheriting from them or registering with the abstract base class. * Directory structure: ``` |-- root_directory-> must be on python path | |-- pydevd_plugins | | |-- __init__.py -> must contain preamble | | |-- extensions | | | |-- __init__.py -> must contain preamble | | | |-- pydevd_plugin_plugin_name.py ```
