The addons panel draw function calls addon_utils.modules() which in turn retrieves a list of fake modules from the script paths every time. This can become costly when network paths are included for
addons. Solution is to put the scanning process into a dedicated "refresh" function and disable it in frequently called draw and filter functions, i.e. in these cases the cached addons_fake_modules list
will be used instead.
Note that this may lead to invalid addon lists if script paths are changed (which is not working 100% without restart anyway according to Campbell). For this there is now a "Refresh" operator button in
the addons preferences. If necessary and feasible such forced refreshes can be added later too.
* Remove difflib's quick_ratio() call, from quick tests looks it is four times slower than ratio(), and yet it gives the same results...
* Moved code to find all po's in a dir into its own func (will be used by i18n addon tools too).
Also workaround a nasty bug, where unregistered py classes remain listed in relevant __subclasses__() calls, which would lead to crash with python addons i18n tools (main translation was not affected, as messages extracting tools are executed in a brand new "factory startup" Blender ;) ).
Notes:
* Everything is still a bit raw and sometimes hackish.
* Not every feature implemented yet.
* A bunch of cleanup is still needed.
* Doc needs to be updated too!
* handle nicely multiple empty lines in po files (still have to figure out why po writer sometime output two lines instead of one!)
* fix rtl processing!
Notes:
* Most tools here have been updated, only a few (unused :p ) features should be missing. But some updates are rough for now, and performances are globally worse currently, will address this later (this is only really noticeable when you work over the whole repo, anyway ;) ).
* This update breaks "edit translations" addon, will fix it later, once core (i.e. this module) is considered stable again!
