The plugins should be able to bundle their own assets though, so it will also have to integrate with the `/static/` static mounts mechanism somehow:

These can be installed from PyPI using `pip install ...`.

I imagine some projects will benefit from being able to add plugins without first publishing them to PyPI. Datasette already supports [loading custom templates](http://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/custom_templates.html#custom-templates) like so:

    datasette serve --template-dir=mytemplates/ mydb.db

I propose an additional option, `--plugins-dir=` which specifies a directory full of `blah.py` files which will be loaded into Datasette when the application server starts.

    datasette serve --plugins-dir=myplugins/ mydb.db

This will also need to be supported by `datasette publish` as those Python files should be copied up as part of the deployment.",107914493,issue,,,"{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/simonw/datasette/issues/211/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,completed
