# Blender.Ipo module and the Ipo PyType object
"""
The Blender.Ipo submodule
B{New}: Ipo updates to both the program and bpython access.
This module provides access to the Ipo Data in Blender. An Ipo is composed of
several IpoCurves.
A datatype is defined : IpoCurve type. The member functions of this data type
are given below.
Example::
import Blender
ob = Blender.Ipo.Get('ipo') # retrieves an ipo object
ob.setName('ipo1')
print ob.name
print ipo.getRctf()
ipo.setRctf(1,2,3,4)
