Toggle plugin using GPIO buttons

[spitfire]

I want to be able to toggle pwnagotchi plugins using GPIO buttons, so far I got this script to do it (running it using GPIO buttons plugin like this main.plugins.gpio_buttons.gpios.13 = "sudo python3 /root/toggle-bt.py" )

the contents of toggle-bt.py:

import subprocess

# Run the command and capture the output
output = subprocess.check_output(['pwnagotchi', 'plugins', 'search', 'bt-tether'])

# Split the output into lines
lines = output.decode().split('\n')

# Extract the status from the output
status = lines[3].split('|')[3].strip()

# Check if the plugin is enabled or disabled
if status == 'enabled':
    # Execute the command for enabled status
    subprocess.call(['/usr/local/bin/pwnagotchi', 'plugins', 'disable', 'bt-tether'])
    subprocess.call(['killall', '-USR1', 'pwnagotchi'])
else:
    # Execute the command for disabled status
    subprocess.call(['/usr/local/bin/pwnagotchi', 'plugins', 'enable', 'bt-tether'])
    subprocess.call(['killall', '-USR1', 'pwnagotchi'])

What's the cleaner way to run this - preferably without having to kill Pwnagotchi's process, like you can do from web UI?

Find a way to call pwnagotchi.plugins.toggle_plugin()

I am not a (python or pretty much any other) developer, the only thing that came to my mind was python3 -c "import pwnagotchi; pwnagotchi.plugins.toggle_plugin(bt-tether)", but that didn't work:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'pwnagotchi' has no attribute 'plugins'

tried:
main.plugins.gpio_buttons.gpios.19 = "sudo python3 -c \"import pwnagotchi.plugins; pwnagotchi.plugins.toggle_plugin('bt-tether')\""
but even though it doesn't error out it wouldn't work (whether executed from the config with button, or via command line separately), any more ideas how to make it work?

import pwnagotchi.plugins as toggle
toggle.toggle_plugin("bt-tether", true) # if you want to enable it
toggle.toggle_plugin("bt-tether", false) # if you want disable it

Thanks for the pointers.
I've tried that (from the interactive python3 command line) and more but it doesn't seem to work:

this is trying to access a pwnagotchi that doesnt exist because its creating a new one, youll need to make web quests to the web urls
