*******************
The current python noise module included with Blender has yet to be updated to the new Py API. This patch does so, with the following major points:
- The noise module has now been moved to a submodule of mathutils, it can be accessed by mathutils.noise. It was moved from it's own module as it will now return mathutils types and also have greater visibility to the user.
- All functions which return vectors will now return mathutils.Vector types to be consistent with the rest of the API. Previously (x, y, z) tuples were returned.
- A different implementation of random_unit_vector is now used, this allows 2D, 3D and 4D vectors to be returned. Previously only 3D was possible.
- Some function names have been changed to remove ambiguities and make naming consistent within the module. noise.vector is now noise.noise_vector and noise.vl_vector is now noise.variable_lacunarity
- Doc strings have been updated to be compatible with auto docs.
- Code style and internal naming has been changed to match the conventions in other mathutils code.
Thanks,
Andrew
- use Py_ssize_t when dealing with python sequence sizes
- dont call PySequence_Size(py_b) in a loop (its slow).
- use faster sequence/float parsing in aud.Factory.filter
PyC_UnicodeAsByte(), used for getting python strings as bytes wasnt clearning utf-8 conversion errors.
this would raise an error when getting an operators filepath.
- Make gettext stuff draw-time. so switching between languages
can happens without restart now.
- Added option to translate visible interface (menus, buttons, labels)
and tooltips. Now it's possible to have english UI and localized tooltips.
- Clean-up sources, do not use gettext stuff for things which can be
collected with RNA.
- Fix issues with windows 64bit and ru_RU locale on my desktop
(it was codepage issue).
- Added operator "Get Messages" which generates new text block with
with all strings collected from RNA.
- Changed script for updating blender.pot so now it appends
messages collected from rna to automatically gathered messages.
To update .pot you have to re-generate messages.txt using "Get Messages"
operator and then run update_pot script.
- Clean up old translation stuff which wasn't used and most probably
wouldn't be used.
- Return back "International Fonts" option, so if it's disabled, no
gettext lookups happens on draw.
- Merged read_homefile function back. No need in splitting it.
TODO:
- Custom fonts and font size.
Current font isn't nice at least for russian locale, it's
difficult to read it.
- Put references to messages.txt so gettext can merge translation when
name/description of some property changes.
Use this to raise errors when assigning a string property fails even though the value to assign *is* a string.
Before:
TypeError: bpy_struct: item.attr= val: Object.name expected a string type, not str
After:
TypeError: bpy_struct: item.attr= val: Object.name error assigning string, UnicodeEncodeError('utf-8' codec can't encode character '\udce9' in position 23: surrogates not allowed)
- add back slicing for buffers, (was previously in 2.4x but not working in py3):
buf = bgl.Buffer(...)
ls = buf[:]
- fix for crash with negative index access not being clamped.
- improve repr() function for multi dimensional buffers.
- add back 'list' attribute, but print deprecation warning.
