Hi,

I was wondering if there is still an API to write Plug-ins for TextMate because I would like to create a Python debugger plug-in.

There has never been a proper API. The only thing that has been supported was to actually load plug-ins, and that's it.

The way plug-ins work in TextMate is through Objective-C method swizzling. That is, replace existing methods with your own implementation. This is actually a lot easier now in TextMate 2 since it's open source.

BTW, if you manage to implement a plug-in for this (or a fork) perhaps this could be generalized to create a debugger API for other plug-ins as well.
