🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so pyxplot_watch is a part of the Pyxplot plotting package, and it's a simple tool for watching Pyxplot command script files and executing them whenever they are modified. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🔥

the way you use it is: on the commandline, you should follow it with a list of command scripts which are to be watched. so it's like
