Description
As discussed with @njroussel.
Currently, upon each variant change, we explicitly reload the custom Python integrators shipped in
mitsuba.python.ad.integrators
.Users don't have access to such a mechanism.
By allowing users to register callbacks, they can now implement module loading & reloading for their custom Python plugins.
In the future, there may be a higher-level way for users to register plugins that will automatically create such a reload callback.
I also added an alias
scoped_set_variant
tovariant_context
so that it matchesdr.scoped_set_flag()
.Testing
Added a unit test check.
