a2369a5e01 run python when starting blender like 2.4x does (was start/stopping python for each script before)
This way python can call the operator to run other scripts
eg...
 bpyoperator.SCRIPT_OT_run_pyfile(filename = "myop.py")
2008-12-27 04:55:45 +00:00
de9437e57a * temporary PKey in the script and 3D view runs "./test.py" (for testing PyOperators that need to run in the user interface context atm)
* 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.

4a86a07f8a wip operator py-api
"operator.ED_VIEW3D_OT_viewhome(center=1)" calls the operator, converting keyword args to properties.
Need a way to run scripts in the UI for useful testing.

Still need to deal with operator exceptions and verifying args against operator options. 

Added temporary WM_operatortype_first() to allow python to return a list if available operators, can replace this with something better later (operator iterator?)

6c2750a6fe Added "bpydoc" to the global namespace of python scripts, making documentation available no matter what data is open in the current blend file, Directory type was also missing from the subtype enum causing the test rna-dump script to fail. 2008-12-16 16:32:48 +00:00
6a73a27d81 PyRNA structs and properties can now be subtyped to add functionality in python.
rna_actuator.c was missing an enum

f23894c365 Python RNA API
* Matches the C/RNA api structure
* Thin wrapper ~(600 lines)
* No functions specific to any blender object type.
* Defines 2 types, BPy_StructRNA and BPy_PropertyRNA.
* Python 3.0 target (compatible with python 2.4,5,6) 
* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/PyRNA - continue docs/discussion here.

Todo
* Collection iterators
* Write access to data
* Define how constants should be accessed (as strings or some special type)
* Solve the "Python keeping invalid blender pointers" problem.
  This cant just be solved in the py api - we need blender to notify when ID's are removed 

Examples
Here are some examples that work with the current implementation of the api.

 rna.lamps["Lamp.006"].energy -> (1.0)
 rna.lamps["Lamp.007"].shadow -> ("NOSHADOW")
 rna.materials.keys() -> ['flyingsquirrel_eye', 'frankie_skin', 'frankie_theeth']
 rna.scenes["hud"].objects["num_text_p2_4"].data.novnormalflip -> False
 rna.meshes["mymesh"].uv_layers.keys() -> ['UVTex', 'UVTex']
 rna.meshes.items()

For a dump of yo-frankie level see - http://pasteall.org/3294/python

Notes
* Added python back, can only execute scripts from the command line with -P script.py
* bpy_interface.c is just enough functionality to run a python file.
