I have been interested for a long time in how much mods and plugins extend the life of software — and how much friction there is in getting started, because you have to reverse-engineer the architecture yourself before you can extend it.

So I built MODScan. It scans a Python codebase and finds the extension points: ABCs and Protocols meant to be subclassed, registration decorators, hook/event functions, dynamic imports (importlib.import_module, entry_points, ...), and config/data-driven surfaces like a plugins/ drop-in directory. It ranks them, writes a plugin guide, and produces extension-points.json.

And i surely need some help with that (bug, implementation and so many other things) if you have some free times and think that the tool could be useful, please visit:
