I wrote my own Python plugin loader a while back. It gets classes filtering based on superclass and optionally keys of a metadata dictionary; they can live in:

The host (builtins)
Named modules or packages
Modules or packages at given paths
Modules or packages in a given directory
Modules or packages that are part of a given package (probably a namespace package)
Modules or packages specified as entry points in a given group

Is there a commonly-used package that already does this well, or should I publish mine?

Dammit.

Did you know: Software needs a free license to be considered as "free"? Adding no license means that all copyright remains to you by default.

Please check that your repos are under a proper free and open-source software or content licence.

Also check the new article about licensing that was contributed to the Docs a few days ago https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/licensing/
