Hi

I'm creating HDAs from subnets using Python. I need to add a Python Module to the hda which I can do manually on the ‘scripts’ tab of the ‘Edit Operator Type Properties’ window.

Is there any way of doing this via python, either on creation of the hda or by editing an existing hda?

Thanks in advance

You want to do something like

You want to do something like

pm_section = node.type().definition().addSection("PythonModule")
pm_section.setContents(your_python_module_contents)

Hi Ben

That's brilliant, thank you. I've got that working now.
This is probably more of a general Python question but if I wan to add multiple lines of code in there how would I go about that.

Very new to Python!

thanks again

******EDIT

Just worked it out with the help of a colleague by defining a function with the code in triple quotes
