Comment 8 for bug 1067845

The directory merging must only happen in some cases, because ibid's plugins are in

./lib/python2.7/site-packages/Ibid-0.2.0dev-py2.7.egg/ibid/plugins/quotes.py

while mine is at

./lib/python2.7/site-packages/ibid/plugins/haiku.py

Note that I installed Ibid by invoking setup.py directly, while I used pip to install my own package, which ought to be work fine if the packages were independent.

Anyway, it's not working; Ibid can't load my plugin.

Wouldn't it be simpler if I could just configure Ibid to load my plugin from its own package? I could give it the full import path for the class (my.package.file.ClassName?) and remove all ambiguity, leaving ibid/plugins for the plugins that are shipped with Ibid.
