Thanks for your pointer, in the meantime I managed to create a new plugin type and add them to the "Plugins" menu. I also extracted a bit of code from database2.py and coverted it into a plugin. This class, I can instantiate with
Code:
from calibre.library.pathnames.byauthor.strategy import PathnameByAuthor
foo = PathnameByAuthor(self)
Two other plugins I wrote which conform to the API just defined, I can install into calibre via "calibre-customize -a <filename>.zip". The plugins contain the "plugin-import-name_<foo>.txt" file and __init__.py .
The part which I did not understand yet is how I would initialize such a class of which I might only know the plugin-import-name.
