Do I have to execute this script every time I install new module to update the xml file??

In reference to python3.xml which contains the autocomplete strings, this file has the autocompletion strings at the time of execution of the script. python3.xml is a static file and there is no auto update for the file python3.xml. It might be possible to schedule a periodic update using Cron or Window Task Schedular though that is not a builtin option for the script and would require some external setup by the user.

Modules installed by pip are typically located in site-packages. If you have set settings['import_site'] = 1 in the script, then the modules in site-packages will be processed by pydoc within the script, which will get the autocomplete strings and be written to python3.xml.

If settings['import_site'] = 1 and you want the autocomplete strings for the new installed module, then the answer would be Yes to execute the script again to update python3.xml. If not done, then the autocomplete for the new installed module will not be displayed in the editor as the xml file has not been updated. Ideally, install all modules needed, then execute the script to have python3.xml with all autocompletion strings.

If settings['import_site'] = 0, then the answer would be No, as the modules in site-packages will not be processed. New installed modules will have no effect on that state of python3.xml when settings['import_site'] = 0.
