However, the original product is still available through Products.meta_types and the factory construction mechanism. This is a pain as then users must be careful as to what product's they create.
It is inconvenient to comment out the registerClass calls in the __init__.py to achieve this result. Is there any other technique to deregister products yet still have them available in the PYTHONPATH to satisfy other dependencies?
This could have some nasty side effects, e.g. "icon" may not get defined.
Probably, a better solution would be to add "visible= 0" to the "registerClass" call.
Yes - but this still has the product registered with the factory. It also requires an invasive editing which is a pain for upgrade paths. I was hoping for some sort of monkey patch, preferably placed within our derived class.... Any thoughts?
