But baby steps, this gets me a little closer.
OK, I remember seeing that suggestion.

For a list of plugins, have a look at the Marvin plugin. I don't have it installed at the moment, but it lists all user plugins when the calibre is started in debug mode.

But, I think you will still have to work with a known list of plugins. The real problem is going to be knowing what they do and if they have any function that can be called externally. I know Reading List does and I remember JimmXinu working with kiwidude to change the interface so he could call it. It has options to suppress error message boxes and throw exceptions instead.
