I haven't caught up with the rest of the thread yet, but in my
experience, the shell keeps objects alive for as shorter time as
possible. So you may find a completely new instance is requested for
each context menu request (or for each different item selected, or
something), so arranging to 'reload' your implementation module may well
work. I've even used the 'Python.Server' object to reload via Exec() calls.
Another quick test confirms that the following works:
def __del__(self):
try:
print "Deleting", self.__module__, "module."
del sys.modules[self.__module__]
except Exception, e:
print "Failed:"
print e
Now every change I make to the module immediately gets picked up by the
shell extension. No more killing Explorer! Can you (or anyone) see any
problems with this?
I'd be inclined to explicitly 'reload(mod)' rather than simply deleting
it, but yeah, that is the general idea.
Cheers,
Mark
