Depends a bit on what that injected code would do. Supposing you want
to run it after everything has already been set up, try putting your
code in src/main.py, probably just before the main loop is started
(but outside the try..except block).

Sorry, we have very little docs right now, but any help is appreciated.

Good luck,
