But sure here are the two words for someone who might want to copy and paste them without typing: from and import :D

I would like to encourage the OP to study the add-ons as examples and find whatever suits his situation best instead of necessarily using this what I found in 30 seconds without much thought. | |

I see. Don't install a zip file, just have a folder in %appdata%\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.91\scripts\addons with your files. If the addon is enabled in the preferences it will be reloaded every time you use Reload Scripts operator in Blender. Search for it with F3 by name or make a hotkey maybe. Once you are done developing, pack everything to a zip. It's here as well: i.imgur.com/UZFcjx7.png

| Feb 3, 2021 at 8:56 | comment | added | kitfox | Well, that's the problem. What I'm looking for is an efficient way to write/debug where I can have Blender reload my code every time I make a change. If I have to rebuild my zip, uninstall the old version and then reinstall the new one every time I change a line, it is a huge drag on my development time. | |
