I have al bunch of observers living in my *observers folders in the scripts folder of RoboFont.
I want to build a script which show all the observers in that folder as a checkBoxList.
Checking the box is execute that specific observer script.

But there is a problem:
if i import <hereMyObserver> I get errors like CurrentFont is not defined...
If I run the observer script manually of course everything is fine.

If I try to execfile(<hereMyObserver>.py) global vars (event is not defined) and imports (fill is not defined) are unknown...

the cwd is my *observers folder!

Hope I made myself clear on this.
Is there something wrong with my thinking and the way python is (not) working? Please help :)

Cheers, Thom

use in your "external" scripts

from robofab.world import CurrentFont

or

from mojo.roboFont import CurrentFont

Those global variables (CurrentFont, CurrentGlyph, …) are injected in the main script automatically.

good luck!
