Once python plugins are loaded, python subsystem run the plugin as it was at start time (As I understand). I had perform a little test for that. If you modify a plugin while pcbnew is running, this is always the "old" version that is running. Not sure that is true for all OS... So menu are not supposed to change even if file change. An other point: if I implement that file watching, I should also implement a "directory watcher". In case a new plugins is installed during pcbnew is running ;) Perhaps an "update button": like onUpdatePythonModulesClick for footprint plugins ?
