* 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.

- 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.
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.
And a popup block with python callback with bpyui.pupBlock, beginBlock, popupBoundsBlock and endBlock funcions.
These functions should not be accessed by scripters directly.
* 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.
"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?)
* 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.
