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.
- operators which reload G.main would crash blender if called from python and then accessed bpy.data.*
- WM_read_homefile_exec was setting the contexts Scene to NULL as a signal for the event system, this didnt work in background mode, crashing when property update functions expected scene to be set.
- now writing to RNA is disabled when inside render() call.
- disallow calling operators when writes are disabled.
Rendering runs in a thread so running operators from the thread is not safe unless rendering becomes a blocking operator again.
disable getattr metaclass forwarding attributes from the python class, eg:
bpy.types.Scene.foo != bpy.types.Scene.bl_rna.properties['foo']
... This was convenient but too tricky to properly maintain with attribute assignment and attributes defined within the class.
avoid doubles in dir() by converting to a set and then back to a list.
- values were added to both the classes __dict__ as well as the internal StructRNA.
- made properties available from the type since this is where the python api assigns them:
>>> bpy.types.Scene.frame_start
<bpy_struct, IntProperty("frame_start")>
- rename RNA_struct_type_properties() -> RNA_struct_type_properties(), added RNA_struct_type_find_property()
- rna array parsing was using PySequence_Size() in a loop, this can be slow to run so only call once.
- assigning a single value to a multi-dimensional array was missing type check.
- improve exception messages for rna array type errors.
- simplify vector slice assignment by using mathutils_array_parse(...)
- avoid looping over the entire collection unless a negative index is used.
- dont use the get index function for building the slice list, instead loop over the collection until the stop value.
Speedup for getting collection indices, avoid getting the collection length unless a negative index is given. This avoids a loop over the entire collection in many cases.
Speedup for getting collection slices by detecting collection[:] and internally calling collection.values(), this gives a big speedup with some collections because each slice item would loop over the list until that index was found.
Rough test with 336 objects.
- getting index of listbase collection ~ 5.0x faster
- getting index of array collection ~ 1.15x faster
- getting slices of listbase collections ~ 34.0x faster
- getting slices of array collections ~ 1.5x faster
- Adding drivers from the UI (not from py-scripts though) will now
automatically add a "Transform Channel" driver variable to the newly
created drivers. This makes setting up drivers a bit more convenient
for the most commonly used case.
- Drivers now report their errors using the Reports system instead of
writing these directly to the console.
- Clarified some comments to be more insightful about the "why's" of
some design decisions, and related formatting/cleanup tweaks
- Reduced scope of "path" vars to just the scope they're required in
- Removed some unused defines from a failed experiment in the original
Keying Sets code ("templates" and "template flags") which was
superseeded by the more flexible + nicer "Builtin KeyingSets"
A note for branch users: CMake 2.8 on 64-bit Windows Vista raised
an error in line 948 of soc-2008-mxcurioni/CMakeLists.txt due to
an invalid argument for the blender_include_dirs macro:
blender_include_dirs(${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR})
The command above should be:
blender_include_dirs("${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR}")
