My plugin files are really simple and I would personally rather just
copy/paste/tweak one than find some workaround that provides an
inconsistent interface in designer.

https://github.com/altendky/st/blob/lib/epyqlib/widgets/buttonplugin.py

Do note that I have put all the boilerplate for the plugins into a class
I can inherit from.

Hi, Kyle. Thank you for the reply! Nice, for now I am using an approach very similiar to yours, it is here: https://github.com/slaclab/pydm/blob/master/pydm/widgets/label_qtplugin.py

Could also be a decorator probably if you wanted to
avoid inheritance.

It is also a good suggestion, I will try this.

Cheers,
-kyle
