Description
Originally submitted to Google Code by guy.kisel on 26 Feb 2014
Currently when I make changes to my Python-based keyword libraries, I need to restart RIDE or reload my project in order to see the new keywords or changes to keywords.
It would be nice if RIDE either automatically reloaded libraries upon detecting filesystem changes, or if I could just click a "reload libraries" button.
Contributor guide
First steps

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating RIDE's Python keyword-library loading and project-reload entry points, then determine how a manual reload or filesystem-triggered reload would fit. Done means library keyword changes become visible without restarting RIDE or reloading the whole project.
