Comment 20 for bug 517870

not reproduced with Inkscape 0.47 on OS X 10.5.8

whenever I make changes to one of the scripts
 mapmaker.py
 mapmaker_/__init__.py
 mapmaker_/mapmake.py
 mapmaker_/editor.py
they are immediately reflected in the next error messages Inkscape shows returned from the python script - without the need to restart Inkscape or - as you hinted - even rebooting the whole system. I suggest there's something else going on with your system - as indicated by your troubles to upload the correct files as intended.
