Some more info...

In Designer->help->about plugins i see that libpythonplugin.so is 
listed, along with the example plugins, and my c++ plugin. My python 
plugin is not listed.


I tried copying all of the PyQt plugin examples into designer's plugin 
dir. They all show up in designer. So PyQt plugins are working, except 
for mine.

My python plugin is in the same directory as the rest but it never even 
gets byte-compiled, so obviously nothing is loading it. Everything else 
has a .pyc after it gets loaded. FWIW, the permissions are also the same 
as the other plugins.

I compared my plugin code to the examples and the code looks fine.

I'm totally stumped! ;)

Thanks for any help,

Josh
