3rd party plugins not working in Windows thin client

[dv2700]

I'm connected to Deluge on a Ubuntu server using the Windows thin client. When I try to add any of a handful of 2.6.egg files belonging to third party plugins, nothing happens. I click Install Plugin, navigate to the .egg file I just downloaded (I verified that Windows isn't blocking or locking them or anything), and click "Open", at which point I'm returned to the Deluge Plugins>Preferences page with nothing changed. I made sure associations are as they should be for python files, I repaired my python 2.6 installation to make sure the correct version was "registered," and I tried reinstallation / reopening of my Deluge client; the problem persists.

Am I overlooking a basic requirement or step to get third party plugins working? I have a file copying script added to the "execute" plugin and it works perfectly, so I'm not sure where the problem lies.

What is the default version of Python on your Ubuntu server (python --version)?

ah, 2.7.3

I guess I misunderstood how the thin client works. Do addons get passed up to the server where everything happens? I thought events were somehow localized.
Is there anything I can do to use 2.6 addons? It seems like most are available as only 2.6 eggs

Just rename the eggs to py2.7, its the same python code so makes no difference. You may need to load a py2.7 for server and py2.6 for client depending on the plugin.
