Live Scripting

Custom functions can be programmed in an external Python file (.py extension) using the scripting system. These functions can be called from the shell. The code is reloaded to Gamma Desk automatically when saved and a function is called from the shell.

Place the following content in a Python file.

def main():
    print("Hello world")

Save for example the file as C:\temp\livescripts\hello.py

Check then if C:\temp\livescripts is in the Live Scripting search path. Take the menu of a console panel, and go to Script->Edit Live paths…

Then, the following should print Hello World.

use.hello.main()

Hello world

If you edit the hello.py, save and recall it, it should call the updated function.

def main():
    print("Hello, new world")

use.hello.main()

Hello, new world

Refer across scripts

from gdesk import using

other = using.other

def func1():
    other.func2()

def main():
    func1()
