Since plugins are installed via pip this would require Datasette to be restarted. This StackOverflow thread looks relevant to that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11329917/restart-python-script-from-within-itself

This recipe looks promising: ```python import os import sys import psutil import logging

def restart_program(): """Restarts the current program, with file objects and descriptors cleanup """

try:
    p = psutil.Process(os.getpid())
    for handler in p.get_open_files() + p.connections():
        os.close(handler.fd)
except Exception, e:
    logging.error(e)

python = sys.executable
os.execl(python, python, *sys.argv)

`` https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.execl says aboutos.execl`:

These functions all execute a new program, replacing the current process; they do not return. On Unix, the new executable is loaded into the current process, and will have the same process id as the caller
