Extending QML - Plugins Example
===============================

This is the last of a series of 6 examples forming a tutorial
about extending QML with Python.

This example refers to the Python version of using a QML plugin in Python. The
idea of plugins in Python is non-existent because Python modules are
dynamically loaded anyway. We use this idea and our QML type registration
decorators - :deco:`~PySide6.QtQml.QmlElement` / :deco:`~PySide6.QtQml.QmlNamedElement` -
to register the QML modules as they are imported.
The :ref:`pyside6-qml` tool does this for you by simply pointing to the ``.qml`` file.
