[chimera-dev] Register-Unregister Chimera Extension (Plugin) to check source code changes

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Pablo,

  The basic development cycle is 1) modify the code, 2) restart Chimera and test, repeat.  Reloading modules is a known problem with Python, not specific to Chimera.  If you change file a.py you not only need to use "reload(a)", you would need to reload everything that uses “a.py" (via “import a”) because all those other files still refer to the old version of “a.py” even after you reload a.py.
