If you have a gizmo, I would go one step further and use the callback
registration mechanism instead of the 'knobChanged' knob. Also, if you’re
reading a file when the panel is shown, I would cache your results and some
indicator that the file has been read already. You can provide a 'refresh'
button if need be to manually re-read the file and re-cache the data.

I find it easier to edit the code in a dedicated editor. And the gizmo will
update live when you save your code while developing. Much faster then
copy/pasting the code everytime in the Nuke script editor to set the value
again and again...

Is that the best way then? I always write into the knobChanged direct in the
node. Though via
s=''' script stuff '''
...['knobChanged'].setValue(s)
What's the advantage of keeping it external?

You probably want to run the code every time the gizmo's panel is opened,
so look into the knobChanged knob.
I'd write the python code in an external file and import then execute it
inside the knobChanged knob.
This might get you started:

Hello everyone,
I wrote a very simple gizmo in Nuke and I'd love to refine it with your
help.
The gizmo simply reads an xml file where I stored some data, the user can
select a scene/shot from a pulldown choice and he will have the images sequence
of that scene/shot.
Everything works, but I'd want to know:
a) When the user create the gizmo from menu, he's forced to click a
button on gizmo in order to load the xml file, otherwise the gizmo is not able
to load the image sequence. I want the gizmo load the xml file automatically, I
tried the callbacks, the "on Create" function, but with no success. Could you
tell me how to do that?
b) Just to be sure, I put all python code in a python script button knob:
is that right to program? I mean, if I want to write python functions or
callbacks that control the entire gizmo, the only solution I have is to write
then in a button, but they are executed only when user clicks on it, isn't?
There's another way to create a new node/plugin?
Thanks in advance.
