> Python does not have the service provider API like java for loading drivers, but setup tools does support declarative methods to register plugins.
> Along with the pluggy project, this will give the ability to load drivers as plugins.
> This is also supported by poetry.
> This will allow 3rd parties to provide driver support ( or other extensions should we want to support them ) just through their installations.
> We will need a follow on to document writing an external package and supporting this.
