bag.web.pyramid.plugins_manager.find_subclasses(cls, path)

Find subclasses of cls in .py files located below path.

(This does look in subdirectories).

Usage:

classes = find_subclasses(BasePlugin, "pluginsfolder")

@param cls: the base class that all subclasses should inherit from @type cls: class @param path: the path to the top level directory to walk @type path: str @rtype: list @return: a list if classes that are subclasses of cls

This could be improved by using cls.__subclasses__(), however this only returns the immediate subclasses.
