[Pydev-code] Use of cmd == 'onSave' bad for development?

[Joel H. <yo...@if...>]

Hi!

 From my assign params to attribs script:

# 'onSave' can be added to the list for developing purposes.
if cmd in ['onCreateActions', 'onSave']:
     declare_lots_of_variables_and_stuff

Using 'onSave' in this manner isn't terribly clever, is it?

Say that I delclare a variable and use it in a bunch of places, save and run 
and discover an error. Say that in the process of fixing the error I change the 
variable, but forget to change it *everywhere*. When I save and retry, the 
error may seem to be fixed, because the old value is still in memory and does 
not cause a NameError or such until I restart the editor.

Or is there something that I missed?

The reason I added 'onSave' for development is pure laziness. It's quicker to 
save-to-update than to restart-to-update. Is there an easy way of provoking an 
editor restart in eclipse/pydev, so that the scripting namespace is cleared? As 
you already have pointed out, I should take care not to mess around with 
globals and to be careful to not use stuff imported to other scripts, but is 
there anything else I should do to avoid this pitfall that I seem to fall into 
again and again?

Thanks a bunch for your help!

Take care!
