Re: how to change default python editor in linux

[Marcus Müller]

The whole point of an *embedded* python block is that it lives *within* the flowgraph, so 
that giving someone else the flowgraph file is sufficient.

So, I'm afraid, we're not going to pull it out of that, that's against its 
design objective :)

If you want to ship python blocks, the usual way is to design an OOT module :)

Best regards,
Marcus
