Jayme McColgan Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 hey y'all, some of my plugins require the user to pip install some modules into a Python Externals folder that lives the user folder. That part is working great but the user then has to restart VW in order to use them... is there a way to reload VW without doing a full restart so it knows that those modules are now on the machine and can be used?

Jayme McColgan Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) i ended up using importlib and it seems to be working fine. import importlib importlib.import_module(module) i do get warning of "pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip. Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue. To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly" Can't seem to figure out a way to fix that but ill write back if i find a way to suppress that. thanks to this forum for helping me https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?/topic/52965-pil-python-image-library-for-vw-2018/ Edited May 1, 2022 by Jayme McColgan Quote Link to comment
