[ANSWERED]Where do we load python scripts?

This has probably been answered, but I didn't see a straight answer.

I know how to load python scripts into actions, triggers, etc. However, what if I want to have a python script load and run all the time in the background? Is this only doable via a Plugins, or is there a directory where I can drop my script off and it simply loads and runs?

Just create a startup trigger with an execute script action (external script of course)..

Ah. Makes sense. Thank you!

Ahhhhhh .. thanks Jay. I also didn't understand that, my script runs every five seconds and uses Indigo variables to store state. Ill be rewriting it tomorrow now I get it.

One question though ... when debugging, how do we restart the script?

Nothing wrong with that approach - it makes the script somewhat stateful since variable values persist across restarts.

You'll have to kill the process. It will be running in an IndigoPluginHost process though so it should be easy to find.
