## Commands
|
||||
|

The following commands will be intercepted by the Python Plugin interface module, when it is loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
*Command* *Description*
|
||||
---------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
/py load <filename> Load module with given filename.
|
||||
* **/py load <filename>:** Load module with given filename.
|
||||
* **/py unload <filename|module name>:** Unload module with given filename, or module name.
|
||||
* **/py reload <filename|module name>:** Reload module with given filename, or module name.
|
||||
* **/py list:** List Python modules loaded.
|
||||
* **/py exec <command>:** Execute given Python command interactively. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
/py unload <filename|module name> Unload module with given filename, or module name.
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
/py exec import xchat

/py exec print xchat.get_info('channel')
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
/py reload <filename|module name> Reload module with given filename, or module name.
|
||||
* **/py console:** Open the Python interactive console in a query (>>python<<).
|
||||
Every message sent will be intercepted by the Python plugin interface,
|
||||
and interpreted interactively. Notice that the console and /py exec
|
||||
commands live in the same interpreter state.
|
||||
|
||||
/py list List Python modules loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
/py exec <command> Execute given Python command interactively. For example:
|
||||
`/py exec import xchat`
|
||||
`/py exec print xchat.get_info('channel')`
|
||||
|
||||
/py console Open the Python interactive console in a query (>>python<<).
|
||||
Every message sent will be intercepted by the Python plugin interface, and interpreted interactively.
|
||||
Notice that the console and /py exec commands live in the same interpreter state.

## Autoloading modules
|
||||
|
||||
If you want some module to be autoloaded together with the Python plugin
|
||||
interface (which usually loads at startup time), just make sure it has a
|
||||
`.py` extension and put it in your HexChat directory (~/.config/hexchat/addons, %APPDATA%\\HexChat\\addons).

PRI\_HIGH, PRI\_NORM, PRI\_LOW, and PRI\_LOWEST. The usage of these

constants, which are available in the xchat module, will define the
