[QGIS-Developer] Multiple python scripts in python console?

[Etienne Trimaille]

If you are talking about the simple Python console panel, and loading
Python files from there, then you can skip the " from .script_2 import
TestClass".

If you notice, when you launch the script_2.py, you have a generated line
similar to :
exec(Path('/tmp/tmp5g244g4w.py').read_text())

So it's reading and executing all the content of file 2 in the console
context already.
So then, when file 1 will be executed, there will already be the class
TestClass in the console context.

But, then to manage multiple files, it's not convenient. You should think
about the smallest plugin, for instance
https://github.com/wonder-sk/qgis-minimal-plugin Otherwise, it's difficult
to manage IMHO.
