Willian Padovani Germano 0737153338 BPython:
-- applied patch by Michael Reimpell that lets scripts registration info be either commented out or not (commented, it doesn't interfere with Python documentation tools.  The patch also fixes potential overflows, thanks (and sorry for the confusion) again, Michael.
-- fixed NMesh_hasFaceUV, it was returning true for false and vice-versa.  Reported by Jonas Petersen with patch, thanks.
-- added 'homedir' and 'uscriptsdir' to Blender.Get() to get Blender's home dir and the user defined scripts dir.
-- related to the above doc updates.

Update settings in Blender.

def Get (request):
"""
Retrieve settings from Blender.

@param request: The setting data to be returned:

- 'curtime' : the current animation time
- 'staframe': the start frame of the animation
- 'endframe': the end frame of the animation
- 'filename': the name of the last file read or written
- 'homedir': Blender's home dir
- 'datadir' : the path to the dir where scripts should store and
retrieve their data files, including saved configuration (can
be None, if not found).
- 'scriptsdir': the path to the main dir where scripts are stored
(can be None, if not found).
- 'uscriptsdir': the path to the user defined dir for scripts, see
the paths tab in the User Preferences window in Blender
(can be None, if not found).
- 'version' : the Blender version number
@return: The requested data.

def Redraw ():
"""
Redraw all 3D windows.
"""
def Load (filename = None):
"""
Load a Blender .blend file or any of the other supported file formats.
Supported formats:
- Blender's .blend;
- DXF;
- Open Inventor 1.0 ASCII;
- Radiogour;
- STL;
- Videoscape;
- VRML 1.0 asc.
@type filename: string
@param filename: the pathname to the desired file. If 'filename'
isn't given or if it contains the substring '.B.blend', the default
.B.blend file is loaded.
@warn: loading a new .blend file removes the current data in Blender. For
safety, this function saves the current data as an autosave file in
the temporary dir used by Blender before loading a new Blender file.
@warn: after a call to Load(blendfile), current data in Blender is lost,
including the Python dictionaries. Any posterior references in the
script to previously defined data will generate a NameError. So it's
better to put Blender.Load as the last executed command in the script,
when this function is used to open .blend files.
@warn: if in edit mode, this function leaves it, since Blender itself
requires that.
"""
def Save (filename, overwrite = 0):
"""
Save a Blender .blend file with the current program data or export to
one of the builtin file formats.
Supported formats:
- Blender (.blend);
- DXF (.dxf);
- STL (.stl);
- Videoscape (.obj);
- VRML 1.0 (.wrl).
@type filename: string
@param filename: the filename for the file to be written. It must have one
of the supported extensions or an error will be returned.
@type overwrite: int (bool)
@param overwrite: if non-zero, file 'filename' will be overwritten if it
already exists. By default existing files are not overwritten (an error
is returned).
@note: The substring ".B.blend" is not accepted inside 'filename'.
@note: DXF, STL and Videoscape export only B{selected} meshes.
"""
def Quit ():
"""
Exit from Blender immediately.
@warn: the use of this function should obviously be avoided, it is available
because there are some cases where it can be useful, like in automated
tests. For safety, a "quit.blend" file is saved (normal Blender behavior
upon exiting) when this function is called, so the data in Blender isn't
lost.
