Hi all!
We have solved our problem.
We have added the symbolic links and the compiled Python '.pyc' files to a
Python Path folder
(/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/quantum-2013.1.2.a24.gd177e58-py2.7.egg/).
Now the plugins loads and works.
Is there a better way to achieve our objective? Adding a folder in Python
PAth? Creating and installing a Python EGG file?
Thank you!
