# This stub runs a python script relative to the currently open
# blend file, useful when editing scripts externally.

import bpy
import os

# Use your own script name here:
filename = "my_script.py"

filepath = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(bpy.data.filepath), filename)
global_namespace = {"__file__": filepath, "__name__": "__main__"}
with open(filepath, 'rb') as file:
    exec(compile(file.read(), filepath, 'exec'), global_namespace)
add a template for a stub script - runs the script relative to the currently open blend file. 2012-10-17 16:01:57 +00:00			`# This stub runs a python script relative to the currently open`
			`# blend file, useful when editing scripts externally.`

			`import bpy`
			`import os`

			`# Use your own script name here:`
			`filename = "my_script.py"`

minor changes - stub from last commit was incorrect (copied old docs) - decimator was making copy of quadric for no reason. - correct typo 2012-10-17 16:10:04 +00:00			`filepath = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(bpy.data.filepath), filename)`
modify the python stub to include __file__ and __name__, also correct odd indent in KX_KetsjiEngine.cpp 2012-11-22 05:20:51 +00:00			`global_namespace = {"__file__": filepath, "__name__": "__main__"}`
use 'with' keyword for script stub (recommended with py3). 2013-08-17 05:27:58 +00:00			`with open(filepath, 'rb') as file:`
			`exec(compile(file.read(), filepath, 'exec'), global_namespace)`
