Description:
Custom python modules fail to load in MySQL Workbench 5.1.17 OSS and SE. On my system I have python 2.1, 2.4, and 2.5 installed. Python 2.4 and 2.5 appear in my PATH environment variable with 2.5 listed first.

Additionally, I cannot run a python script. However, I can execute single line python commands from the GRT (e.g. print "hello").

How to repeat:
1. Create a minimal python module like so:

# start code
from wb import *
import grt

ModuleInfo = DefineModule(name="myutils", author="rtaylor", version="1.0")

@wbplugin("wb.catalog.util.createGeodatabase", caption="CreateGeodatabase", input=[wbinputs.currentCatalog()], pluginMenu="Catalog")
@wbexport(grt.INT, grt.classes.db_Catalog)
def createGeodatabase(catalog):
  print "Hello World"
  return 0
# end code

2. Copy python file to "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\MySQL\Workbench\modules"
3. Launch MySQL Workbench

In WB 5.1 a bug in the implementation prevented more than 1 Python plugin file to be recognized.
In 5.2, the Python module declaration method has changed. Once the provided test script is
updated to the new syntax (@ModuleInfo.plugin instead of @wbplugin) it properly shows in the menus.

fixed already in 5.2 (scripts from 5.1 need to be changed like mentioned by developer in previous comment)

An entry has been added to the 5.2.12 changelog:

Custom Python modules failed to load and were not displayed in the MySQL Workbench Plugins menu.

In MySQL Workbench 5.2 the syntax used has changed from @wbplugin to @ModuleInfo.Plugin.
