PackageManager· method

PackageManager.load_all

load every discoverable package into the running host

Python
load_all(bus: Any = None) -> List[str]

Returns List[str] — sorted names of the newly registered classes

Parameters#

name type default description
bus EventBus None optional desktop event bus; when given, package contributions are wired to it

Example#

Python
from lsdtools.advanced import PackageManager

pm = PackageManager()
pm.load_all(desktop_bus)   # imports packages, wires contributions

Notes#

Loads from all three sources — the search_paths folders, directory packages recorded by add_local, and pip packages advertising the lsd.packages entry-point group. Disabled and min_lsd-blocked packages are skipped. Importing a package auto-registers its step classes; passing bus also wires its menu/action contributions. Returns the sorted list of newly registered class names — the same contract as lsd.load_plugins(). Use load when you want only a named subset.
