- 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.
- simplified C operator API bpy.__ops__ since its wrapped by python now.
- needs the class to have an __idname__ rather then __name__ (like menus, headers)
- convert python names "console.exec" into blender names "CONSOLE_OT_exec" when registering (store the blender name as class.__idname_bl__, users scripters wont notice)
- bpy.props.props ???, removed
* 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
- added class option for PyOperators __register__ so you can set if py operators are logged in the console.
- PyOperators was refcounting in a more readable but incorrect way. in some cases would be possible to crash so better not drop the reference before using the value.
- console zoom operator was registering which meant zooming in to see some text would push it away :)
* 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.
Image Window
* Unpack operator now works.
* Some small layout code tweaks.
Info Window Header
* Moved to python UI code.
* template_running_jobs, template_operator_search added.
* Ported external data operators: pack/unpack all, make
paths relative/absolute, find/report missing files.
Also
* Report RPT_INFO too, not only warnings and errors.
* Run UI handle functions after RNA and Operators.
* Rename particle system add/remove operators, to not
include "slot", that's only there for materials because
that's what they are called now in RNA.
check Save Image or Export PLY operator for example.
Also these code changes:
* Added some RNA collection iterator macros to simplify code.
* Fix bpy.props.BoolProperty not working correct.
* Merge uiDefAutoButsRNA/uiDefAutoButsRNA_single into one.
* 2 new enums event_value_items and event_type_items in RNA_enum_types.h
* WM_key_event_string now uses an RNA enum lookup rather then its own switch statement.
* moved wmEvent from WM_types.h into DNA_windowmanager_types.h
* added RNA_enum_identifier and RNA_enum_name to get strings from an enum value.
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.
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.
- Support for python to convert a PyObject into a collection (uses a list of dicts - quite verbose :/)
- Operators can now take collection args when called from python.
- Support for printing operators that use collections (macro recording).
- Added RNA_pointer_as_string which prints all pointer prop values as a python dict.
Example that can run in the in test.py (F7 key)
bpy.ops.VIEW3D_OT_select_lasso(path=[{"loc":(0, 0), "time":0}, {"loc":(1000, 0), "time":0}, {"loc":(1000, 1000), "time":0}], type='SELECT')
for some reason lasso locations always print as 0,0. Need to look into why this is.
The Python API to define Panels and Operators is based on subclassing,
this makes that system more generic, and based on RNA. Hopefully that
will make it easy to make various parts of Blender more extensible.
* The system simply uses RNA properties and functions and marks them
with REGISTER to make them part of the type registration process.
Additionally, the struct must provide a register/unregister callback
to create/free the PanelType or similar.
* From the python side there were some small changes, mainly that
registration now goes trough bpy.types.register instead of
bpy.ui.addPanel.
* Only Panels have been wrapped this way now. Check rna_ui.c to see
how this code works. There's still some rough edges and possibilities
to make it cleaner, though it works without any manual python code.
* Started some docs here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/RNATypeRegistration
* Also changed some RNA_property and RNA_struct functions to not
require a PointerRNA anymore, where they were not required (which
is actually the cause of most changed files).
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.
- 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.
