Hey,
I spent some time getting the crypto plugin running inside the 4.0 client.
The main problem was that the folder 'tryton' in client 3.8 was renamed to
'gnuhealth' in client 4.0. Since crypto plugin did not change since 3.6 it was
still trying to import from 'tryton' instead of 'gnuhealth' and the errors
didn't appear in the logs.

There are a few questions & problems:
- Shouldn't the folder in the PyPI package 'gnuhealth-client' be
'gnuhealth_client' or something instead of 'gnuhealth' since there is a PyPI
package 'gnuhealth'?
- For Crypto plugin at least those imports should be fixed and released as
4.0.x. Maybe an alternative way of downloading an archive could be provided as
well? PyPI?
- In client in gnuhealth/plugins/__init__.py 'GH_PLUGINS_DIR' is not used
anymore even though it is still defined in gnuhealth/config.py
- For loading modules in gnuhealth/plugins/__init__.py exceptions should at
least be printed, this was really painful to find the problem if nothing is
printed after an error even in debug mode. So after 'except ImportError:'
there should at least be some debug output instead of just 'continue'.
- When the crypto plugin is working and I click on the gear for actions, the
options for signing and verifying documents appear twice. I guess once is
enough? ;)

Best
Gerald
