plugin python is built into core uwsgi if installed via pip.

[mvdbeek]

Distros should package uWSGI in a modular way, with each feature as a plugin. But when you install using language specific ways (pip, gem...) the relevant language is embedded, so you do not need to load the plugin

I tested this with the stable branch of @bgruening docker-galaxy-stable, where this works fine.
(uwsgi is installed into the virtualenv environment using pip)
If we do have --plugin python in all of our current project, starting galaxy_web fails with

open("./python_plugin.so"): No such file or directory [core/utils.c line 3675]
!!! UNABLE to load uWSGI plugin: ./python_plugin.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory !!!

This has also occured here
It also supersedes PR #21

@jmchilton thanks!

[jmchilton]

@mvdbeek No, thank you this is awesome. I never even noticed #21 😰, too many projects I seem to miss PRs on things other than Galaxy core.

[jmchilton]

@mvdbeek I have added you to the Galaxy "docker-devops" team that has write access to a few projects including this one. Feel free to commit directly or continue to open PRs of course, whichever you'd prefer.

[mvdbeek]

@jmchilton no worries, i also miss notifications on github, and I'm involved in far less than what you must be seeing.
Thanks a lot for all the things you're doing!
