I analyzed the crash with gdb and PyImport_AddModule ("__main__") in Python/import.c:320 seems responsible for the crash: apparently, "__main__" is not found and causes the error "No such file or directory".
I have to figure out what's wrong with the current configuration, especially whether Freestyle's PythonInterpreter can be used as is. I am going to see whether it's just quicker to use Blender's functions.
1. instantiates the config path, the controller and the view
2. sets the controller’s view
3. loads a 3ds file (right now a fixed file)
4. inserts a style module (right now, also fixed)
5. computes the view map
The next and final step is running the Python script. A lot of information are fixed and should be changed to test the following code: see source/blender/freestyle/app_blender/*.cpp and search for fixed paths (starting in /Users/).
I am currently evaluating whether it's worth making Python run on its own environment (right now, the program crashes because of PyImport_AddModule) or whether it should use Blender's Python capabilities. Also, I need to figure out how to integrate the SWIG wrapper dynamic library into the current scheme.
