Hi everybody,

I'm quite new to python and C4D programming.

I use C4D's script manager to write my code. As my script grew big, I created a second file in which I put a couple of functions.
My files look like that :
main.py
mymodule.py

I import the functions using :
from mymodule import function1, function2

It seems that I need to restart C4D to get the changes made to mymodule.py taken into account.
Is is the expected behavior or am I making a mistake somewhere ?

Alex

Hi,

I think you should reload your modified module at the beginning of your script with the standard Python function: reload(mymodule)

Hi there Al3d and Yannick,

I was wondering if you could help as you seem to have cracked the problem.

I want to make my own modules for C4d in python but I dont know where to put them.

I keep getting the error message:
Import Error: No Module named xxxx

Any help would be great. I am using Windows.

Thanks!

Hi,
 
You have to copy your own module to:

{USER_FOLDER}/library/python/packages/{osx/win32/win64}

This information is included in the docs' FAQ page ("Where do I store 3rd party modules for Python?" question).
