Is there anywhere in ignition I can create a common .py for import into gateway / client scripts?

I would like to maintain functions common to multiple scripts without having to duplicate them.

If not is there another method of achieving function like this, that perhaps I am simply looking at the problem wrong?

Only been using it for about a week, so rather new all around, thanks in advance.

You could put your functions in Script Modules. Then you can reuse them anywhere in the same project. Is that what you are looking for?

Look here: [inductiveautomation.com/supp … odules.htm](http://www.inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/index.html?script_modules.htm)

Or are you looking for a way to use functions across projects? I don’t know a good way to do that.
