[Bf-python] Text Editor Project and BPyTextPlugin

[Chris McCormick]

Vaguely on topic, I recently discovered that I can just do a "from
myproject import mymethod" and then "mymethod()" inside my script
controllers in Blender. That means that I can write all my code in
external files with my normal editor and just have those two lines
inside the Blender script.

Best,

Chris.
