<!-- ==================== CLASS DESCRIPTION ==================== -->
<h1 class="epydoc">Class PluginManager</h1><span class="codelink"><a href="web2py.gluon.tools-pysrc.html#PluginManager">source&nbsp;code</a></span><br /><br />
<pre class="base-tree">
object --+
         |
        <strong class="uidshort">PluginManager</strong>
</pre>

<hr />
<p>Plugin Manager is similar to a storage object but it is a single level
  singleton this means that multiple instances within the same thread share
  the same attributes Its constructor is also special. The first argument 
  is the name of the plugin you are defining. The named arguments are 
  parameters needed by the plugin with default values. If the parameters 
  were previous defined, the old values are used.</p>
  <p>For example:</p>
  <p>### in some general configuration file: &gt;&gt;&gt; plugins = 
  PluginManager() &gt;&gt;&gt; plugins.me.param1=3</p>
  <p>### within the plugin model &gt;&gt;&gt; _ = 
  PluginManager('me',param1=5,param2=6,param3=7)</p>
  <p>### where the plugin is used &gt;&gt;&gt; print plugins.me.param1 3 
  &gt;&gt;&gt; print plugins.me.param2 6 &gt;&gt;&gt; plugins.me.param3 = 8
  &gt;&gt;&gt; print plugins.me.param3 8</p>
  Here are some tests:
