if 0'd the exec() workaround for running python scripts incase windows devs want to test.
theeth said the problem is when you compile a debug blender against a non debug python (or the ther way I assume), you can get a FILE struct mismatch.
A quick way to test this on windows is to run this from the command line.
blender -P somescript.py
Somescript.py can be anything
- running a script from a file now uses the PyRun_File(FILE *, ...) rather then PyRun_String("exec(open(r'/somepath.py').read())"...), aparently FILE struct on windows could not ensured to be the same between blender and python, since we use our own python on windows now it should be ok.
- generating docs works again (operator update for py style syntax broke them)
- python operator doc strings was being overwritten
- added rna property attribute "default" to get the default value of a property, not working on arrays currently because variable length arrays are not supported.
- replaced BKE_copy_images with BKE_export_image, now it handles only one image at a time, this is better since for exporters it is
easier to export one image at a time writing new image path to a file
- exposing BKE_export_image in RNA as Image.export, interestingly, RNA allowed me to define a function with PROP_STRING return type
although it doesn't free memory, will fix that in the next commit
- removed bpy.util.copy_images
Unit tests:
- re-wrote a test for BKE_export_image, it's more compact now
- moved unit tests to the creator module to avoid another executable, now running tests with `blender --test`
- as before, unit tests are built only if WITH_BF_UNIT_TEST is non 0
- BLI_add_slash returns the new string length.
- BLI_where_am_i() would often have /./ in the path (not incorrect but annoying, got into python exceptions)
- release/ui/space_image.py, py error referencing invalid keyword args.
* Drawing the console text now skips all lines outside the view bounds.
* Added dummy C operators for console.exec and console.autocomplete so blender wont complain at startup, its not really a problem but people testing reported it a few times. Eventually we should have some way python operators are initialized before the spaces operators are checked.
* reordered the imports so the "ui" dir is imported before "io", for now this means bpy.ops is defined before exporters and importers need to use it, was causing a python error on startup.
* fixed all compiler warnings for the console (gcc4.4)
* stopped operators were printing out the return flag.
* removed references to ACT_OT_test, TEXT_OT_console_exec and TEXT_OT_console_autocomplete
this works for the calling operators from python and using the RNA api.
bpy.ops.CONSOLE_exec() is now bpy.ops.console.exec()
eg.
split.itemO("PARTICLE_OT_editable_set", text="Free Edit") becomes... split.itemO("particle.editable_set", text="Free Edit")
For now any operator thats called checks if its missing _OT_ and assumes its python syntax and converts it before doing the lookup.
bpy.ops is a python class in release/ui/bpy_ops.py which does the fake submodules and conversion, the C operator api is at bpy.__ops__
personally Id still rather rename C id-names not to contain the _OT_ text which would avoid the conversion, its called a lot since the UI has to convert the operators.
* refcount error if StringIO or io modules could not be imported
* importing python modules like math didnt work because the script registration overwrote the script path. now just prepend the path.
Monthly cleaning round to make it compile warning free.
Mostly it was const stuff (strings, Context), but also
a couple useful fixes, like wrong use of temp pointers.
Only Mathutils callback struct I left alone... design issue.
* 3D view Mesh menu works again, but incomplete.
* Add Properties and Toolbar to 3D View menu.
* Added "specials" menus back, vertex/edge/face and general.
* Various fixes in existing mesh operators, some were not working.
* Add MESH_OT_merge.
* Merge all subdivide ops into MESH_OT_subdivide, subdivide code
changes to make smooth + multi give good results.
* Rename all select inverse ops to *_OT_select_inverse.
* Fix "search for unknown operator" prints at startup, and some
warnings in py code.
* Don't run .pyc files on startup.
* Remove unused image window header C code.
I needed this to make sure that BKE_copy_images works properly,
probably will be useful in future.
Using Check framework (http://check.sourceforge.net/doc/check.html/index.html).
WITH_BF_UNIT_TEST option builds 'alltest' program under [BUILDDIR]/bin,
which, when executed, runs unit tests, currently only 1.
Example output:

Spent lots of time (a couple of days actually :) to figure out how to
link the test program with Blender libraries. As it turned out there
are circular dependencies among Blender libraries. GCC by default
doesn't expect circular dependencies - dependant libs should precede
libs they depend on.
The magical --start-group linker option helped to solve this
(http://stephane.carrez.free.fr/doc/ld_2.html#IDX122).
Also:
- added bpy.util module. bpy.sys.* functions will move here later
- added bpy.util.copy_images that uses BKE_copy_images
- export_obj.py uses bpy.util.copy_images
Current issues:
- NURBS - needs API additions
- "all scenes" export - cannot switch scene in bpy
- normal calculation, disabled
- duplis - need testing, only dupliverts tested
- matrix problem
- UI, 18 options currently don't fit into filesel panel, will do manual lay out once it's available
- probably others...
BPY:
- made operator "execute" method required to avoid crash
- added bpy.sys module which replicates old "sys" module
API:
- replaced create_*_mesh with a single create_mesh accepting type parameter
- added Mesh.create_copy to create a copy of a mesh with 0 users
Ran `dos2unix` on source/blender/python/SConscript
Any 3x3 or 4x4 rna matrix will automatically be returned as a Mathutils matrix.
This makes useful stuff like multiplying a vector location by an object matrix possible.
ob = bpy.data.scenes[0].objects[0]
print (ob.data.verts[0].co * ob.matrix)
Also added mathutils matrix types to the BGE GameObject.localOrientation, worldOrientation
* MT_Matrix3x3 added getValue3x3 and setValue3x3, assumed a 4x3 float array.
* KX_GameObject.cpp convenience functions NodeSetGlobalOrientation, NodeGetLocalOrientation, NodeGetLocalScaling, NodeGetLocalPosition.
* 2.5 python api now initializes modules BGL, Mathutils and Geometry
* modules py3 PyModuleDef's use PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT, rather then {}, was making msvc fail to build.
* added macros for Vector_ReadCallback, Vector_WriteCallback etc. to check if the callback pointer is set before calling the function.
Merging changes made by Arystanbek in the soc-2009-kazanbas branch,
plus some things modified and added by me.
* Operator exec is called execute in python now, due to conflicts
with python exec keyword.
* Operator invoke/execute now get context argument.
* Fix crash executing operators due to bpy_import_main_set not being
set with Main pointer.
* The bpy.props module now has the FloatProperty/IntProperty/
StringProperty/BoolProperty functions to define RNA properties for
operators.
* Operators now have an __operator__ property to get the actual RNA
operator pointers, this is only temporary though.
* bpy.ops.add now allows the operator to be already registered, it
will simply overwrite the existing one.
* Both the ui and io directories are now scanned and run on startup.
* Mathutils, Geometry, BGL, Mostly working, some //XXX comments for things to fix with py3
python import override (bpy_internal_import.c) so you can import python internal scripts from the BGE and running blender normally.
Send the full python stack trace to the reporting api,
added BPY_exception_buffer which temporarily overrides sys.stdout and sys.stderr to get the output (uses the io module in py3 StringIO in py2 to avoid writing into a real file), pity the Py/C api has no function to do this.
fix for crash when showing menu's that have no items.
This allows the sequencers Add-Image strip to work like it does in 2.4x.
- as well as setting the "filename" operator property, operators can have collections called "files" and "dirs" which are set when available.
- RNA_OperatorFileListElement as new collection type, its a bit redundant since each item only has a "name" property but its needed since we don't have a string array type.
- the file selector now prints operators it runs.
Tested with python, adding a list of images works to the sequencer works.
bpy.ops.SEQUENCER_OT_image_strip_add(name="MyImages", start_frame=54, channel=2, filename="/somedir/", replace_sel=True, files=[{"name":"test1.png"}, {"name":"test2.png"}])
Still not happy with this in the long term but its less problematic then storing the context in pythons namespace which couldn't be set before importing modules.
This might fix a crash quite a few people have reported (but I cant reproduce).
After quite a bit of searching, I finally found where the various UI functions were wrapped for use in Py Layouts.
For the reference of others, check out editors/interface/interface_api.c
Now it is possible to write a Python Expression using the variable names for driver targets (see mockup from initial commit) to substitute the appropriate values into the expression.
In the __global__ namespace for PyDriver evaluation, the following modules are available:
* __builtins__ - i.e. the builtin Python functions
* bpy - new Python API
* math or m - math module
For example:
Consider a driver with three targets, named: A, B, C
Now, you could write an expression like:
C if A < 5 else B
or even:
2*C if A < 5 or A > 20 else m.PI*B
Of course, you don't have to have three targets, the above was just an example.
TODO:
* Bring back way to load pydrivers.py
* Blender.Noise equivalent would be nice to have
P.S. I hope I haven't made any terrible Python API coding errors here (i.e. mem leaks, etc.)
More cleanup!
- removed old UI font completely, including from uiBeginBlock
- emboss hints for uiBlock only have three types now;
Regular, Pulldown, or "Nothing" (only icon/text)
- removed old font path from Userdef
- removed all old button theme hinting
- removed old "auto block" to merge buttons in groups
(was only in use for radiosity buttons)
And went over all warnings. One hooray for make giving clean output :)
Well, we need uniform definitions for warnings, so people at least fix
them... here's the real bad bugs I found:
- in mesh code, a call to editmesh mixed *em and *me
- in armature, ED_util.h was not included, so no warnings for wrong call
to ED_undo_push()
- The extern Py api .h was not included in the bpy_interface.c, showing
a several calls using different args.
Further just added the missing includes, and removed unused vars.
The bug was todo with bpy.data and bpy.types becoming invalid, temporary fix is to re-assign them to the bpy module before running python operators or panels.
will look into a nicer way to get this working.
this means it caches the compiled pyc files after importing fro the first time.
My times for importing 501 buttons_objects.py files were.
- running each as a script 1.9sec
- importing for the first time 1.8sec
- importing a second time (using pyc files) 0.57sec
Also added "bpy" to sys.modules so it can be imported.
* Added very basic loading of .py files on startup to define panels.
It now executes all .py files in .blender/ui on startup. Right now
this contains the object buttons, the C code for it is commented out.
These files should get embedded in the blender executable as well
eventually, that's a bit more complicated so this works for now.
* For scons and cmake it seems to copy & find the files OK, for make
only "make release" works (same with scripts/ folder it seems).
* Added BLI_gethome_folder function in BLI_util.h. This is adapted
from bpy_gethome, and gives the path to a folder in .blender like
scripts or ui.
There's plenty of things to figure out here about paths, embedding,
caching, user configs ...
- Register python panels
- Added a generic class checking function BPY_class_validate() for panels/operators.
- No button drawing yet
Brecht, Added RNA_enum_value_from_id() and RNA_enum_id_from_value() to rna_access.c to do lookups between identifiers and values of EnumPropertyItem's, Not sure if these should go here.
* operator class names
- Changed 'name' to '__label__' (since __name__ is already used for the class name)
- Changed 'properties' to '__props__'
* added a PyObject_GetAttrStringArgs(), utility function which Id like to see in pythons C api.
PyObject_GetAttrStringArgs(pyob, "someattr", "foo", "bar") /* pyob.someattr.foo.bar */
Support for subclassing blenders operator, to be registered as a new operator.
Still need to...
* add constants like Operator.FINISHED
* wrap context (with rna?)
* poll() cant work right now because there is no way to access the operatorType that holds the python class.
* Only float, int and bool properties can be added so far.
working example operator.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/WinterCamp/TechnicalDesign#Operator_Example_Code
- rearranged modules bpyui -> bpy.ui, bpy -> bpy.data, remove bpydoc
- new module bpy.types, stores a list of all struct types
- added __rna__ attribute to types - eg bpy.types.World.__rna__ so you can access the rna data from a type. (so bpydoc.structs isnt needed anymore)
- removed unused subtyping method (use python subclassing rather then C PyTypeObject)
python - lux/pov/renderman materials, lamps etc as well as operators.
At the moment there are 2 ways to do this, The first is like subclassing from python, another (disabled) method copies the base PyTypeObject struct
and makes some changes.
The PyType is stored in the RNA Struct for reuse, right now there are no access functions - needs to be improved.
Added a python script for printing all blend file data to the console which helps testing the api.
dir(rna) wont work for python 2.x now, use rna.__dir__() instead.
