+Plugin API documentation
+========================

+.. module:: plugin
+
+.. autoclass:: BasePlugin
+    :members: init, cleanup, api, core
+
+    .. method:: init(self)
+
+        Method called at the creation of the plugin.
+
+        Do not override __init__ and use this instead.
+
+    .. method:: cleanup(self)
+
+        Method called before the destruction of the plugin.
+
+        Use it to erase or save things before the plugin is disabled.
+
+    .. attribute:: core
+
+        The Poezio :py:class:`~Core` object. Use it carefully.
+
+    .. attribute:: api
+
+        The :py:class:`~PluginAPI` instance for this plugin.
+
+
+Each plugin inheriting :py:class:`~BasePlugin` has an ``api`` member variable, which refers
+to a :py:class:`~PluginAPI` object.
+
+The :py:class:`~PluginAPI` object is an a interface through which the :py:class:`~BasePlugin`
+(and inheritors) *should* go to interact with poezio. If it is not sufficient, then the ``core``
+member can be used.
