<h1>PluginManager Class Reference</h1>
<code>from PyKDE4.soprano import *</code>
<p>
Inherits: <a href="http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/html/qobject.html">QObject</a><br />
Namespace: Soprano.PluginManager<br />
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>\class PluginManager pluginmanager.h Soprano/PluginManager
</p>
<p>
The PluginManager loads and maintains all %Soprano plugins.
</p>
<p>
Normally there is no need to use this class as all important methods have
global counterparts in the Soprano namespace.
