Trying to show currently installed plug-ins with python component

In Grasshopper->File->Preferences->Solver, you are able to see installed Plug-ins.

Is there a way to list those in a Python component? I want to see which plug-ins are loaded. I tried this, (but it gives me every component name....)

import Grasshopper as gh

for i in gh.GH_InstanceServer.ComponentServer.ObjectProxyNames: print i

I am looking through the GH SDK, but haven't been able to find it yet. Is it available?

This should give a list of all the loaded libraries.

import os
import Grasshopper

plugins = [os.path.split(addon)[1] for addon in Grasshopper.Instances.ComponentServer.AllAddOns if addon.lower().endswith(".gha")]

Thanks! That is exactly what I was looking for! The purpose is for creating a bit of a "de-bugging aid" component. It's probably overkill on my part, but as we have some folks in our office writing a few bits of custom components, and it's helpful to be able to quickly gather some relevant information about their systems. This is the component I am putting together.

Do you think there are any other relevant pieces of information that might make sense to include in this? (Assuming the purpose of it is really a reference and troubleshooting utility....not at all for geometry creation or manipulation).
