I have repeated this this morning and same result. Sigil treats the testplugin_v010.zip as "Error: Plugin not a valid Sigil plugin."
I downloaded the testplugin_v010.zip file a second time in case it had been corrupted. But sigil always rejects it.

That's very strange. The test plugin installs fine for me on my various Linux installations. Please verify that you have not renamed the plugin's zip file. That will definitely break things and cause the error message you are seeing. Plugins' zip files have a strict naming convention that must match internal names/structures.

That's my fault. I copied portions of Kevin's text from his instructions for OS X users. The menus vary slightly on OS X compared to Linux/Windows. What you're looking for is Plugins->Edit->testplugin. "Edit" is the type of plugin: there are Edit, Validation, Input, and Output types of plugins. The testplugin is an "Edit" plugin and will be found under that subheading when looking to run the plugin.
I'll fix the oversight/confusion in the BuildingOnLinux document.

The Windows and OS X versions of Sigil come with a bundled Python installation that includes all of those modules. Meaning many plugin devs will be utilizing them in their plugins. If you want to be able to run all user-created plugins (which may very-well make of some or all of those modules), you may want to install them on Linux so Sigil can use them without error.
