    Hi all,<br>
    <br>
    Do we need to consider PEP 8 guidelines while naming the plugin ?<br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#package-and-module-names">https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#package-and-module-names</a><br>
    <br>
    I see some issue by having "-" in the python plugin naming
    convention (ex: ginger-base), as import will not work directly. <br>
    Example: in the consider tests/test_host.py file, which contains
    statement <br>
    <span class="pl-k">from</span> kimchi.mockmodel <span class="pl-k">import</span>
    MockModel<br>
    <br>
    when moved to ginger-base plugin become<br>
    <br>
    <span class="pl-k">from</span> ginger-base.mockmodel <span
      class="pl-k">import</span> MockModel<br>
    python import will not recognize the module name with "-"<br>
    <br>
    I could overcome that by :<br>
    <pre style="" class="lang-py prettyprint prettyprinted"><code><span class="kwd">import</span><span class="pln"> importlib
mod </span><span class="pun">=</span><span class="pln"> importlib</span><span class="pun">.</span><span class="pln">import_module</span><span class="pun">(</span><span class="str">"path.to.my-module"</span><span class="pun">)

or 

</span></code><code><span class="pln">module </span><span class="pun">=</span><span class="pln"> __import__</span><span class="pun">(</span><span class="str">"</span></code><code><span class="str"><code><span class="str">path.to.my-module</span></code>"</span><span class="pun">)</span></code>
</pre>
    <br>
    But I feel, It is not adhering PEP 8 guidelines.<br>
    <br>
    So my proposal would be not to have "-" in the module name ?  ie.
    gingerbase, gingerppc, gingers390x etc.. if so even api has to have
    the same convention ?<br>
    <br>
    Any better suggestions are welcome.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks and Regards<br>

              <br>
              As we have agreed on moving the Kimchi Host tab to Ginger
              community and creating a new plugin (ginger-basic), I want
              to list step-by-step what we need to do *on Kimchi side*.<br>
              <br>
              1) Will we call this new plugin as ginger-basic? Any other
              suggestion?<br>
            </blockquote>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>I think keeping it as ginger is better. ginger-basic
              sounds like there's ginger-advanced (or similar), when
              there really isn't anything like that. What we have is
              just additional functionality based on your OS flavor. So
              keeping ginger as the plugin name, to me, is the easiest.
              Then all it takes is looking up your flavor:
              ginger-[ppc|z|pickled].</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
          </blockquote>
          <br>
          About the plugin name: does ginger-base sound better? As it
          will the base for all the other ginger plugins which will
          extend the Host tab.<br>
        </blockquote>
        <br>
        'ginger-base' looks OK to me<br>
        <br>
        The other plug-in can be called simply 'ginger' in this case. <br>

              2) Create the new plugin structure into wok branch, ie,
              create a directory named ginger-basic (?) and all it is
              needed to launch it as a wok plugin, including building
              and packaging details.<br>
                  In this first moment, the entire Host tab will be part
              of the ginger-basic - just to move the discussion as soon
              as possible to Ginger community.<br>
              <br>
              3) Add ginger-basic plugin as a Kimchi dependency.<br>
              <br>
              Once we have those items done, I will create a new
              repository for ginger-basic under kimchi-project
              organization in Github.<br>
              After that, the discussion *will be moved to Ginger
              community*, ie, all patches and discussion must be sent to
              the Ginger mailing list (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
