Comment 5 for bug 614605

oh, thanks for the feedback on the issue.

i tried a bit, the problem is the __init__.py in the package pluginSupport. Delete it, and it works. you see it in the linked git commit.

there seems to be a problem, that both the package and a file have the name pluginSupport. if i move pluginSupport.py to plSupport.py, i get an error in the html-generation, not in the subclasses place.

another thing i tried (without understand much of your code) is "if o:" -> 'if o and hasattr(o, "subclasses"):'. this also moves the exception to another place.

the error with plSupport.py instead of pluginSupport.py:
