There was an extension that has a malformed info.plist file (an extension Im working on)

This should not happen but it could be possible that one of the installed extension is not valid... maybe Mechanic should skip those?

An ExentsionBundle has a validate() callback that you can use

I had a hunch that this was the issue, and I was looking into how to except from this. Python errors are kind of frustrating to work on when the error originates from a library, but I think that I have a solution that I can release later today.

Which extension had the plist in question?

solved here

dont understand where those > went...

[jackjennings]

Hey @typemytype, I added an exception that fixes this case, and a warning (which will be logged when I get that running again).
