Hi,  
  
  
  
I am new to both Plex and Python and am having difficulties using the Plex framework.  
  
  
  
From my Code/\_\_init\_\_py file I use some classes from packages (my own) I have placed under Libraries/Shared.  
  
Is it possible to use Plex framework functions in those packages? For example, I am trying to use the Log function, but can’t seem to import it.  
  
I can import Framework… but where is the Log function? Where is everything… 🙂  
  
  
  
– Kris

Hehehe… There is also a Log object instead of the Log function…pass that in and voila!
