 Introduction:
 -------------

 This Reference documents the Blender Python API, a growing collection of
 Python modules (libs) that give access to part of the program's internal data
 and functions.
 
 Through scripting, Blender can be extended in realtime.  Possibilities range
 from simple functionality to importers / exporters and even more complex
 "applications".  Blender scripts are written in
 U{Python <www.python.org>}, an impressive high level, multi-paradigm,
 open-source language.
