Underscore in attribute name

[mikedecaro]

I’m new to writing Plex plugins and I’m having an issue with calls to the oauth2 library. When I use the library in a standalone application, everything works fine. When I try to use it in my Plex plugin, I get the following error on load. I also see a bunch of security errors before the exception occurs.



SyntaxError: Line 50: “version” is an invalid attribute name because it starts with “_”.



Why is Plex/Python treating this differently in the plugin than the standalone app?

Figured it out. Found the answer in this post.

Also, if you need to avoid some of the restrictions the Plex framework imposes, move that portion of your code into a seperate file and put it in Contents/Libraries/Shared in the bundle. This mean it won’t be subject to the restrictions applied by the framework (but it won’t be able to use any framework API features either). You’ll need to set PlexPluginCodePolicy to Elevated in the Info.plist file as well.
