David,

One thing to keep in mind is that Python files are loaded only on server
start, so if you make changes, you'll need to restart the server. On the
other hand, XML files are loaded dynamically, but only when the module is
reinstalled. Hence, if you make changes to both types of files, you'll need
to restart _and_ reinstall your module to see changes.

Hope this helps,
Brendan
