* Made it based on string lookups rather than fixed enum, to make
it extensible by python scripts.
* Context callbacks now also have to specify RNA type when returning
pointers or collections. For non-RNA wrapped data, UnknownType can
be used.
* RNA wrapped context. The WM entries are fixed, for data context
only main and scene are defined properties. Other data entries have
to be dynamically looked up.
* I've added some special code in python for the dynamic context
lookups. Tried to hide it behind RNA but didn't find a clean way to
do it yet. Still unused/untested.
* Also minor fix for warning about propertional edit property in
transform code, and fix for usage of operator poll with checking if
it was NULL.
* 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.

* As a test, used by:
* Object buttons, tried to make it match the mockup.
* Text window header.
* Text window properties panel.
* Panel interaction with view2d is still problematic, need to make
this work properly still.
* Templates are very basic, the ones there are simple but already
can follow the object buttons mockup quite closely.
* It's based on a three level system: panels, templates and items.
To get an idea of what that means in practice, see:

- 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.
example...
bpyui.registerKey( C, bpyui.spaceTypes.SEQ, 0, "Sequencer", "SEQUENCER_OT_view_selected", bpyui.keyTypes.A, bpyui.keyValTypes.PRESS, 0,0, {})
May want to split this into multiple functions.
removed epy docstrings from RNA python api, since Python can get this info from rna. (could be redone in python if getting doc's on RNA is needed)
epy_doc_gen works again
Can draw panels in the scripts space containing RNA and operator buttons.
* Added bpyui.register() so scripts can draw buttons and panels into the scripts space type.
* wrapped drawBlock, drawPanels and matchPanelsView2d
* Operator buttons take a python dictionary used to set the button defaults.
* BPY_getFileAndNum utility function to get the filename and line number python is currently running.
* Where possible use vec.setValue(x,y,z) to assign values to a vector instead of vec= MT_Vector3(x,y,z), for MT_Point and MT_Matrix types too.
* Comparing TexVerts was creating 10 MT_Vector types - instead compare as floats.
* Added SG_Spatial::SetWorldFromLocalTransform() since the local transform is use for world transform in some cases.
* removed some unneeded vars from UpdateChildCoordinates functions
* Py API - Mouse, Ray, Radar sensors - use PyObjectFrom(vec) rather then filling the lists in each function. Use METH_NOARGS for get*() functions.
was not recalculating the knots when the cyclic flag was disabled so the endpoint flag was being ignored until recalculating (extrude for eg).
Also removed unneeded re-allocation of curve knots which are always reallocated by makeknots.
Fixed another bug with which recalculating knots with the Python surface api. (mixed up u/v args to makeknots(..) )
And a popup block with python callback with bpyui.pupBlock, beginBlock, popupBoundsBlock and endBlock funcions.
These functions should not be accessed by scripters directly.
* User interface uses this as a tooltip when NULL or "" is given.
* Python doc generation includes this description
* Python defined ops take the description as an argument.
* NULL check to image_ops.c, was crashing on exit when there was an image open.
* RNA_blender.h is now generated along with the other files. It is not
used anywhere yet, and still located quite hidden next to the other
rna_*_gen.c files. Read only access for now.
* Inherited properties are not copied from the base anymore but
iterated over. Patch by Vekoon, thanks!
* Array get/set callbacks now do the whole array instead of getting an
index. This is needed for some layers for example so python can set
the array as a whole, otherwise the check that one layer has to be
enabled at all times gets in the way. Also nicer for the C API.
* Also some changes to returning pointers to make the API cleaner, got
rid of the type() callback and instead let get() return PointerRNA
with the type included.
The C API looks like this currently:

- wm draw method is now initialized correct when reading older
files, but the SDNA bug causing the problem is still unsolved.
is due to // char pad[8]; not being recognized as commented.
- triple buffer proxy texture test follows spec better now,
was disabling triple buffer unnecessarily on some drivers.
- some cmake compile fixes related to sequencer pthread usage
and removed bad level calls lib for player.
- show outliner header buttons in oops mode as well until that
can be switched in the UI.
- fix region data free issue for tooltips
- warning fixes
can transform the strips or move their handles
Still todo, click-drag transform, metastrips support, snapping, markers overlap checks and constrain to valid channels.
Python operator api was using WM_operator_name_call() which was confusing things too much.
Added WM_operator_call_py() which ended up being a very small function and split out operator creation into wm_operator_create()
Python operator now runs the poll() function and raises an error if it fails.
Eventually there should be error messages for poll that python can use to give the exact reason for failing (eg - library linked data, no active object...)
also fixed crashes when incorrect args were used
cross = 13; track= 5; frame = 1 # no effect constants
scene.sequence.new((cross, seq1, seq2), frame, track)
* Finished DNA_lamp_types.h, DNA_world_types.h and DNA_sound_types.h.
* Renamed "parent" struct property to "nested", and also remaining "from"
usage to "base".
* Added a NEVER_NULL subtype for pointers and use it for all properties
that apply.
* Make sure all structs have a description, and fix any other DOC_BROKEN
descriptions, also many other naming consistency improvements.
Instead of many commits, here 1!
- Constraint edit code back
- Removed XXX stubs for constraints
(make parent follow path works)
- Removed XXX stubs for armature
(make parent deform, do center, etc works)
- Found a bad uninitialized global Scene * in code, especially
in kernel it wreaked havoc.
- added missing include in blenkernel/brush.c
- fixed Nicholas' fix for editmode subsurf crash
(It needed to check for editmode)
This is used for generating docs so a nested RNA struct such as MaterialRaytraceTransparency are listed under Material rather then in the global struct list)
These RNA structs are used for grouping properties and don't correspond to a C structure.
