[QGIS-Developer] Plugin development and publishing

[opsoge.dcz at porcupinefactory.org]

Hi all,

I started writing a QGIS plugin for CartoCSS, and this weekend I came back to it, only to see it needs debugging. Python was never a good match for the project, making developing a pain, so I have some questions:

Is it possible to publish a plugin which includes a compiled shared object? I noticed that mentions of C++ are absent from the plugins page, but that would free me from Python and let me use something with a powerful type system.

Is it possible to reload dependencies of a plugin? My plugin is made of several modules and the reloader can't handle that: the dependencies become stale and I end up committing broken code.

Are there any transpilers to Python?

Cheers,
