this report exposed multiple bugs in blender when using a non utf8 compatible home directory.
- bpy.utils.script_paths() would crash when homedir wasn't utf8 (reported bug)
- PyC_DefaultNameSpace() - would raise an error when running when __file__ was non utf8.
- preset filepath property was not set to accept non utf8.
- bpy.paths.display_name would raise an error on non utf8 paths, (used for preset draw)
* add BLI_rfindlink for reverse index lookup (used so bm.select_history[-1] doesn't have to loop the entire list twice).
* add bm.select_history.active so you can get the last selected item or None without having to check seq length.
PyC_UnicodeAsByte(), used for getting python strings as bytes wasnt clearning utf-8 conversion errors.
this would raise an error when getting an operators filepath.
Use this to raise errors when assigning a string property fails even though the value to assign *is* a string.
Before:
TypeError: bpy_struct: item.attr= val: Object.name expected a string type, not str
After:
TypeError: bpy_struct: item.attr= val: Object.name error assigning string, UnicodeEncodeError('utf-8' codec can't encode character '\udce9' in position 23: surrogates not allowed)
- add support for IDProp array slicing, but not resizing.
- rename array attribute type to typecode and use chars 'f', 'd', 'i' which match pythons array module. (was using int's which only have a meaning internally).
- rename function 'convert_to_pyobject' to 'to_dict' and 'to_list' for IDProp group and array types respectively.
- remove 'len' array attribute, calling len(array) is fine.
Now this gives the line number of the scripts thats running, eg:
uiItemFullO: unknown operator 'some.operator'
/c/bin/2.56/scripts/startup/bl_ui/space_view3d_toolbar.py:73
calling
bpy.ops.wm.read_factory_settings()
... would clear a scripts namespace if running directly, not in a module.
Fix by backing up and restoring the __main__ module.
Also found BKE_reportf wasnt printing all reports in background mode as BKE_report() was doing.
- bpy.data.*.load() functions were only accepting UTF-8 paths.
- rna functions/properties now accept byte values rather then strings for file paths.
- bpy.path.resolve_ncase now supports byte objects.
this is needed because some UTF8 names didnt resolve on windows when using surrogateescape'd strings.
This meant you couldn't export to models some directories on windows.
