[Eric] 3rd party modules.

["ΑΝΤΩΝΗΣ ΜΠΟΥΝΤΟΥΒΑΣ"]

Hi Detlev,

Xmm...Ok, i see. 
So, i did create a test project, load my .py file in it, save the project and create .api file from Project menu.
That seems to work fine, i installed that .api file in Preference/Editor/Api and now i can reference that api file from another project and get intellisene for it. Nice!
(I hope that this is the *correct* procedure to generate .api files)

some questions though:
a. As i saw from eric4-api.py, i can generate api files from .py, .pyw and .ptl. No support for pyd files, correct ?

b. In Preference/Editor/API, is it better to uncheck the "Compile APIs automatically" check box ? And every time we "load" an api file in that screen we must do a "Compile API" action, correct  ?

c. In Settings we have the "Reload APIs" command. What exactly is doing this ?

Thanks again!


PS: I hope your vacations were good. For me (i live in Greece and we have these fires all over the place here) is rather bad this summer...

Right now you have to do it on the command line. For a project managed with 
eric4, an entry is provided in the Project menu.
