The way to do this is to make use of ``include`` and ``exclude`` +keys, either in the *config.ini* or in the dictionary passed as Client argument. Here's how they work: + +- If both ``include`` and ``exclude`` are omitted, all plugins are loaded as described above. +- If ``include`` is given, only the specified plugins will be loaded, in the order they are passed. +- If ``exclude`` is given, the plugins specified here will be unloaded. + +The ``include`` and ``exclude`` value is a **list of strings**. Each string containing the path of the module relative +to the plugins root folder, in Python notation (dots instead of slashes). + + E.g.: ``subfolder.module`` refers to ``plugins/subfolder/module.py`` (root="plugins"). + +You can also choose the order in which the single handlers inside a module are loaded, thus overriding the default +top-to-bottom loading policy.
