- bpy is now a python package, this makes it easier to add utility modules and adjust python startup which was previously using verbose Py/C api. Access should not be any slower since both C and Python modules use dictionary access.
- loop over scripts and load via python (currently F8 reload isnt working, will add back shortly)
- the C module is kept but renamed to _bpy and not meant for direct access from anything but the bpy package.
- bpy_types.py is an exception since it runs before the bpy package is initialized.
Appending and Linking
* Linking Operator, invokes filebrowser for Append/Link
* Separated the append/link function into three parts:
** BLO_library_append_begin finds main for appending
** BLO_library_append_named_part appends one Object,Group, Material, ...
** BLO_library_append_end actually reads and expands the libraries
NOTE 1:
I also changed the returned properties for the filebrowser operators to the following convention:
"path" - the full path to a file or directory, means what is in directory + filename buttons in filebrowser
"directory" - the content of the directory button in filebrowser
"filename" - the content of the filename button in filebrowser
Usually only path should be required, but in some cases it might be more convenient to retrieve the parts separately.
Ton, Brecht: If you have time to take a look, let me know if anything needs to be fixed.
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.
* Added more compact property definitions, with a single function.
Only used by operators at the moment, would need to tweak regular
expressions a bit more to use it also for other RNA definitions.
* The operator properties defined now were completed a bit more but
still have many issues that need to be adressed, specifically;
* Some properties that should be booleans or enums are defined as
ints, note that ints are only for numeric values, not bitflags
or multiple choice.
* Soft/hard limits and default values of many properties are not
well defined still,
* Inconsistent naming, especially for example mouse locations or
bounds are named differently in different places. Also mouse
locations and other vector like properties should become a single
vector property instead of multiple X/Y properties.
* Almost no properties have descriptions, these would be good to
have for docs and tooltips.
So, please verify that the properties of the operators you wrote are
well defined.
* added ED_SCRIPT_OT_run_pyfile that takes a filename argument.
* RNA_property_string_set didn't add a value to ID props if the prop wasnt there (like ints, floats and bools do)
* bpy_operator.c - raise an error when unknown keyword args are passed to any operator .
Examples of bpy operator api...
bpyoperator.ED_VIEW3D_OT_viewhome(center=1)
bpyoperator.ED_SCR_OT_frame_offset(delta=10)
bpyoperator.ED_VIEW3D_OT_make_parent(type='OBJECT')
At the moment there is no way to stop the operators .invoke() function from running so ED_VIEW3D_OT_make_parent still opens the menu even though it doesn't need to.
