Hi, [import] was part of Extended. If I am not mistaken, it worked in Extended because of some changes to the core code specific to it, hence it was never an external or did not ever work in Vanilla
[declare] is Vanilla's [import] and something that came about later, making [import] just part of history and something to be forgotten... Many help files you find from external libraries in deken still use [import] just because it's the same file that was part of Extended and never got updated. But then, anyone can update them and reupload them. cheers Em sáb., 6 de jan. de 2024 às 05:28, Peter P. <[email protected]> escreveu: > Hi list, > > I am wondering if there are any considerations amongst developers to > allow the upgrade of externals/libraries through deken eventually? > > I have just discovered the [import] library, described on [1] as "Aiming > to provide a simplified Python-style import for Pure Data, this import > object loads libraries as part of a patch.
