Hi all,

Thanks a lot for your valuable advice. I have already succeed in
registering and loading a self-defined plugin. The entry_point is generated
by executing setup.py, and found in .egg-info/entry_points.txt, which is
different from using setup.cfg in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/331638/.

Moreover, I tried to load drivers by line "cfg.CONF.nyp.plugins.simple",
the console prompts oslo_config.cfg.NoSuchOptError: no such option in group
DEFAULT: nyp. The setup.cfg is defined as follows.

[entry_points]
nyp.plugins.formmater =
    simple = nyp.plugins.simple:SimpleFormatter
    plain = nyp.plugins.simple:SimpleFormatter
    field = nyp.plugins.field:FieldList

How to solve the problem?

Best regards,
Yipei
