Plugin API documentation
========================
+External plugins
+----------------
+
+It is possible to create external plugins easily using `setuptools'
+entry_point
+<https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#dynamic-discovery-of-services-and-plugins>`_
+feature. You can register your plugin against the ``poezio_plugins`` entry
+group with the following snippet in your project ``setup.py``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ setup(
+ ..
+ packages=['yourmodule'],
+ entry_points{'poezio_plugins': 'yourplugin = yourmodule'},
+ ..
+ )
+
+The plugin will then be available as ``yourplugin`` at runtime.
