Dispatch now generates an index for each plugin type, allowing plugins to |

class ViewPlugin(BasePlugin): |

"""Marker class for plugins that provide views.

28 |

View plugins must have a 'urls' property which contains an iterable of pairs
|
|
30 |
or triples, like (routex string, handler class, kwargs dict). The kwargs
|
|
31 |
dict is optional. If present, the members of the kwargs dict will be passed

as keyword arguments to the constructor of the view object.
