New submission from powdahound <None>:

There is currently no (easy) way to debug what may be causing a twistd plugin from being detected and placed in the plugins list when running 'twistd --help'. I had an 'import x from y' in my twisted/plugins/foo_plugin.py file that was failing due to a typo, but there was no place I could see that error. I could only see that the 'foo' plugin wasn't showing up in 'twistd --help'. glyph suggested I open a ticket requesting a solution to this. I'm not sure what would've been the most helpful... maybe a command line arg passed to twistd that printed out errors it encountered? Maybe it could just print them out by default?
