Trouble diagnosing plugin problems

I am fairly sure I have the plug-in directory set correctly and that the
httpconditionalresponse plugin is working, but the diagnostics don't
show that any plug ins are loaded.  I report the lack of a list of
plugins in the diagnostic report and the lack of version of which
pyblosxom is running in the report as a possible defect in version 0.9.


I am trying to get the archives and categories plugins working, but no
joy.   Any tips on where to start debugging appreciated.

Below are the diaganostic output (which doesn't show any plugins loaded,
maybe it doesn't work when loading all plugins in a directory <the
default>?),  the foot.html, and the config.py

---- diagnostic output.  No version of pyblsxom printed nor $Id$, no
list of plugins. no list of variables actually set.

# Using Caching? Caching speeds up rendering the page that is going to be
# shown. Even if you are not using pyblosxom special features, caching can
# improve rendering speed of certain flavours that can show a large
number of
# files at one time. Choose a cache mechanism you'd like, see the
# Pyblosxom/cache/ directory, and read the source on how to enable
caching with
# the particular cache driver, you need to set two variables:
#py['cacheDriver'] = 'xxxx'
#py['cacheConfig'] = ''

# Plugin directories:
# You can now specify where you plugins all lives, there are two types
# of plugindirectories, the standard pyblosxom plugins, and the xmlrpc
# plugins.  You can list out as many directories you want, but they
# should only contain the related plugins.
# Example: py['load_plugins'] = ['/opt', '/usr/bin']
#py['plugin_dirs'] = ['/path/to/my/plugins']
py['plugin_dirs'] = ['/home/doug/wwwroot/doug/pyblosxom-plugins']

# There are two ways for PyBlosxom to load plugins.  The first is the
# default way which involves loading all the plugins in the lib/plugins
# directory in alphanumeric order.  The second is by specifying a
# "load_plugins" key here.  Doing so will cause us to load only the
# plugins you name and we will load them in the order you name them.
# The "load_plugins" key is a list of strings where each string is
# the name of a plugin module (i.e. the filename without the .py at
# the end).
# ex: py['load_plugins'] = ["pycalendar", "pyfortune", "pyarchives"]
#py['load_plugins'] = []
