Once you have made some changes in processing.py how can you load the development version on the PDE for testing? In modes, you can only add the one which is officially supported.

The modes are stored in your sketchbook directory. I’ve manually copied (Python mode) files into this directory (/home/sketchbook/modes/PythonMode) when the server was down, bypassing the contribution manager process. Maybe you can load your dev version like this?

That is correct. You can manually download versions of Python mode – or build them locally – and then side-load them directly into /modes/.

Restart PDE after to have it pick up the new mode.
