How to create an extension?

How could I create an extension?

tiny documentation on extensions

I haven't worked enough extensions BTW.

Extensions are just codes executed with an exec() function..

location

Extensions are saved in new folders made in DATA/extensions and main codes are in __init__.py file in that directory..

Manager file's structure

There is a class called tasks which has 12 lists namely:

1. after_imports (when modules are imported)
2. before_extension_installation (before extensions are loaded)
3. after_extension_installation (after extensions are loaded)
4. main_vars_definition (with important variables definition)
5. main_funcs_definition (with main funcs definition) 
6. main_classes_definition (with important classes' definition) 
7. before_root_definition (before main window definition) 
8. after_root_definition (after main window definition) 
9. sidebar_widgets (after sidebar widgets: files, runner, customizer and settings definition)
10. before_mainloop (before root.mainloop)
11. before_configs_save (after root.mainloop)
12. onexit (just before exiting)

Each contains codes to be executed in certain places of main program

Code

Extensions' codes are in form of multiline strings example:

tasks.before_mainloop.append("""
Menubar = Menu(root, activebackground="#0084FF", activeforeground="#FFFFFF",
               bg="#FFFFFF", fg="#0084FF", font="consolas")
Filemenu = Menu(root, tearoff = 0)
Menubar.add_cascade(label="File", menu=Filemenu)

This creates a file menu in the menubar..

I also wrote a "just-working" title bar (menu bar) earlier at this link

Final words

This sounds hectic as you need to read that 1400+ lines of code before making extensions thus I may rewrite that entirely..
