[Eric] Access running eric4 instance through its shell?

[detlev]

Hi,

first of all your plug-in project should have the project type "Eric Plugin". 
The main script should be the file that starts with "Plugin...". When you 
run/debug/... your plug-in project, the plug-in is run inside a fresh eric4 
instance. All this and much more is described in the plug-in document 
available in the eric4 package. I highly recommend reading it.

Regards,
Detlev
