- replaced BKE_copy_images with BKE_export_image, now it handles only one image at a time, this is better since for exporters it is
easier to export one image at a time writing new image path to a file
- exposing BKE_export_image in RNA as Image.export, interestingly, RNA allowed me to define a function with PROP_STRING return type
although it doesn't free memory, will fix that in the next commit
- removed bpy.util.copy_images
Unit tests:
- re-wrote a test for BKE_export_image, it's more compact now
- moved unit tests to the creator module to avoid another executable, now running tests with `blender --test`
- as before, unit tests are built only if WITH_BF_UNIT_TEST is non 0
* ID blocks can now get RNA properties defined from python, e.g.:
bpy.types.Scene.BoolProperty(..)
* RNA structs/functions/properties can now get pointers duplicated
(mostly strings), since we can't point to some static string then.
* Added ExtensionRNA struct to add into *Type structs for subclassing,
is a bit more compact than defining the 4 variables each time.
Only disadvantage is it requires including RNA in more places.
- BLI_add_slash returns the new string length.
- BLI_where_am_i() would often have /./ in the path (not incorrect but annoying, got into python exceptions)
- release/ui/space_image.py, py error referencing invalid keyword args.
- simplified C operator API bpy.__ops__ since its wrapped by python now.
- needs the class to have an __idname__ rather then __name__ (like menus, headers)
- convert python names "console.exec" into blender names "CONSOLE_OT_exec" when registering (store the blender name as class.__idname_bl__, users scripters wont notice)
- bpy.props.props ???, removed
* Drawing the console text now skips all lines outside the view bounds.
* Added dummy C operators for console.exec and console.autocomplete so blender wont complain at startup, its not really a problem but people testing reported it a few times. Eventually we should have some way python operators are initialized before the spaces operators are checked.
* reordered the imports so the "ui" dir is imported before "io", for now this means bpy.ops is defined before exporters and importers need to use it, was causing a python error on startup.
* fixed all compiler warnings for the console (gcc4.4)
* stopped operators were printing out the return flag.
* removed references to ACT_OT_test, TEXT_OT_console_exec and TEXT_OT_console_autocomplete
this works for the calling operators from python and using the RNA api.
bpy.ops.CONSOLE_exec() is now bpy.ops.console.exec()
eg.
split.itemO("PARTICLE_OT_editable_set", text="Free Edit") becomes... split.itemO("particle.editable_set", text="Free Edit")
For now any operator thats called checks if its missing _OT_ and assumes its python syntax and converts it before doing the lookup.
bpy.ops is a python class in release/ui/bpy_ops.py which does the fake submodules and conversion, the C operator api is at bpy.__ops__
personally Id still rather rename C id-names not to contain the _OT_ text which would avoid the conversion, its called a lot since the UI has to convert the operators.
Unit tests:
- add a check that BKE_copy_images produces NULL filepath for images having type other than IMA_TYPE_IMAGE
- also expect NULL filepath for images having empty filename
Enhanced BKE_copy_images so the tests pass.
Calling rna functions with invalid keywords, too many keywords and too many args would fail silently
- now raise an error with invalid keywords and a list of valid ones, raise an error when too many args are given.
- calling rna functions would alloc a ParameterList each time, changed to use a stack variable (2 pointers and an int).
- store the number of parameters ParameterList
- python exception types were wrong in many cases, (using attribute error rather then type error)
- fixes to small errors in python UI scripts.
- added class option for PyOperators __register__ so you can set if py operators are logged in the console.
- PyOperators was refcounting in a more readable but incorrect way. in some cases would be possible to crash so better not drop the reference before using the value.
- console zoom operator was registering which meant zooming in to see some text would push it away :)
* interactive console python console.
* display reports and filter types. defaults to operator display so you can see the python commands for tools as you use them,
eventually it should be possible to select commands and make macto/tools from them.
Example use of autocomp. b<tab>, bpy.<tab>, bpy.<tab>, bpy.data.<tab> etc.
basic instructions are printed when opening the console.
Details...
* Console exec and autocomp are done with operators written in python.
* added CTX_wm_reports() to get the global report list.
* The window manager had a report ListBase but reports have their own struct, switched to allocate and assign when initializing the WM since the type is not available in DNA.
* changed report types flags for easier display filtering.
* added report type RPT_OPERATOR
* logging operators also adds a python-syntax report into CTX_wm_reports() so they can be displayed in the console as well as calling a notifier for console to redraw.
* RnaAPI context.area.tag_redraw() to redraw the current area from a python operator.
Todo...
* better interactions with the console, scrolling, copy/paste.
* the text displayed doesnt load back.
* colors need to be themed.
* scroll limit needs to be a user pref.
* only tested with cmake and scons.
* support for dynamic enums to be inspected enumProp.items() from python.
* fix, enums check for a separator was flipped, meant no enums were in docs.
* dynamic enum functions now check for a NULL context and return all possible options for the "items" attribute used for docs.
* added an arg for rna arrays to free the array there looping over (needed to free dynamically allocated enum items)
* python api checks for NULL items since this can happen in some cases.
* python api, When getting an enum ID from an int in an array - If it failed it would get the first enum identifier and return that. Brecht? dont understand, making it return an empty string in these cases.
* refcount error if StringIO or io modules could not be imported
* importing python modules like math didnt work because the script registration overwrote the script path. now just prepend the path.
Changing Scene.current_frame doesn't work in this case because it adds
a notifier.
Also added RNA_property_update call in pyrna_struct_setattro so that
notifiers are added when a property changes.
* Enums can now be dynamically created in the _itemf callback,
using RNA_enum_item(s)_add, RNA_enum_item_end. All places asking
for enum items now need to potentially free the items.
* This callback now also gets context, this was added specifically
for operators. This doesn't fit design well at all, needed to do
some ugly hacks, but can't find a good solution at the moment.
* All enums must have a default list of items too, even with an
_itemf callback, for docs and fallback in case there is no context.
* Used by MESH_OT_merge, MESH_OT_select_similar, TFM_OT_select_orientation.
* Also changes some operator properties that were enums to booleas
(unselected, deselect), to make them consistent with other ops.
Now this will return True
isinstance(bpy.data.meshes[0], bpy.types.Mesh)
Use the StructRNA identifier for the new classes name properties because classes were being named by the data names rather then the type names.
Set the __module__ for the new type which makes printing the class not use the script name where the type is first initialized.
eg: bpy.types.Mesh instead of buttons_object.Mesh
This still isnt quite right since opertators and panels all get their own type, when they should all use an operator type.
Monthly cleaning round to make it compile warning free.
Mostly it was const stuff (strings, Context), but also
a couple useful fixes, like wrong use of temp pointers.
Only Mathutils callback struct I left alone... design issue.
* 3D view Mesh menu works again, but incomplete.
* Add Properties and Toolbar to 3D View menu.
* Added "specials" menus back, vertex/edge/face and general.
* Various fixes in existing mesh operators, some were not working.
* Add MESH_OT_merge.
* Merge all subdivide ops into MESH_OT_subdivide, subdivide code
changes to make smooth + multi give good results.
* Rename all select inverse ops to *_OT_select_inverse.
* Fix "search for unknown operator" prints at startup, and some
warnings in py code.
* Don't run .pyc files on startup.
* Remove unused image window header C code.
I needed this to make sure that BKE_copy_images works properly,
probably will be useful in future.
Using Check framework (http://check.sourceforge.net/doc/check.html/index.html).
WITH_BF_UNIT_TEST option builds 'alltest' program under [BUILDDIR]/bin,
which, when executed, runs unit tests, currently only 1.
Example output:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Running suite(s): Image
0%: Checks: 1, Failures: 1, Errors: 0
tests/alltest.c:74:F:Core:test_copy_images:0: Expected //bar/image.png to be translated to /tmp/bar/image.png, got /tmp/bar/image.pn.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spent lots of time (a couple of days actually :) to figure out how to
link the test program with Blender libraries. As it turned out there
are circular dependencies among Blender libraries. GCC by default
doesn't expect circular dependencies - dependant libs should precede
libs they depend on.
The magical --start-group linker option helped to solve this
(http://stephane.carrez.free.fr/doc/ld_2.html#IDX122).
Also:
- added bpy.util module. bpy.sys.* functions will move here later
- added bpy.util.copy_images that uses BKE_copy_images
- export_obj.py uses bpy.util.copy_images
* Fix crash in python with enum properties, and don't throw
error if no matching identifier is found. This shouldn't
happen, but it should break a python script either, which
is not at fault.
* Fix a wrong variable initialization in fluidsim.
Added slice to PyRNA collections and arrays (py3 only).
eg.
some_verts = mesh.verts[0:10]
some_rna_array[4:-1] = [0,1,2,3]
Collections dont support assignment, when assigning slices, resizing the array isnt support like with python lists.
Image Window
* Unpack operator now works.
* Some small layout code tweaks.
Info Window Header
* Moved to python UI code.
* template_running_jobs, template_operator_search added.
* Ported external data operators: pack/unpack all, make
paths relative/absolute, find/report missing files.
Also
* Report RPT_INFO too, not only warnings and errors.
* Run UI handle functions after RNA and Operators.
* Rename particle system add/remove operators, to not
include "slot", that's only there for materials because
that's what they are called now in RNA.
coords = array.array('f', [0.0]) * len(me.verts) * 3
m.verts.foreach_get('co', coords)
the reverse works with set also.
currently works for python buffers or sequences (slower)
Quick speed test with 1,179,654 verts.
*foreach_get*
list 0.377
array 0.032
py 10.29
*foreach_set*
list 0.184
array 0.028
py 9.79
where python was done like this...
----
i= 0
for v in m.verts:
co = v.co
l[i] = co[0]; l[i+1] = co[0]; l[i+2] = co[0]
i+=3
----
some of the error checking here needs to be cleaned up to account for different invalid bad inputs.
Adding a UI to set the type on startup can be added easily.
# ----
class myPlayer(GameTypes.KX_GameObject):
def die(self):
# ... do stuff ...
self.endObject()
# make an instance
player = myPlayer(gameOb) # gameOb is made invalid now.
player.die()
# ----
One limitation (which could also be an advantage), is making the subclass instance will return that subclass everywhere, you cant have 2 different subclasses of the same BGE data at once.
Current issues:
- NURBS - needs API additions
- "all scenes" export - cannot switch scene in bpy
- normal calculation, disabled
- duplis - need testing, only dupliverts tested
- matrix problem
- UI, 18 options currently don't fit into filesel panel, will do manual lay out once it's available
- probably others...
BPY:
- made operator "execute" method required to avoid crash
- added bpy.sys module which replicates old "sys" module
API:
- replaced create_*_mesh with a single create_mesh accepting type parameter
- added Mesh.create_copy to create a copy of a mesh with 0 users
