Report problems with the new Python API here please!

[Michel]

Hi,

I would like to collect all problems, bugs, inconsistencies and small changes in this topic. When you have found a problem, please first check if somebody else has already reported it. If the problem you've found is not posted yet, please give a complete report on how to reproduce it - if applicable with a few lines of Python code.

Do not ask for any new modules to be added for the 2.28 release. After 2.28 is released, new modules can be added.

Thank you for testing.

With regards,
Michel

I love the new updated version. I don't know if this has been said before, but the famous OBJ script still will not run in the new 2.28 version. I guess we have to use ver. 2.23 for OBJ imports and exports for now

Hi,

OK.

in module BLender.Object

Code: Select all

import Blender
OBJLIST=Blender.Object.Get()
for o in OBJLIST:
     print o.name,o.Layer,

return this:

Using a clean Global Dictionary.
Run Python script "Text" ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Text", line 4, in ?
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'name'

I notice that the object names are now being reported differently to version 2.23.

For instance I have a tyre of radius 3.5 with an anti-clockwise forward rotation called Tyre01-3.5

my script extracts the data using the .name. so:

mTyre = Blender.link
rad = eval(mTyre.name[7:])
dir=eval(mTyre.name[6] + "1")

Under version 2.23 this works fine, but under this test version it doesn't. Adding the line:

print mTyre.name

shows that the returned name is now OBTyre01-3.5 instead of Tyre01-3.5.

I know it's a minor issue, solved by adding 2 to the substring arguments, but it's one people need to be aware of. I assume this is a permanent feature of the code and not just some test diagnostic s

Whoops, this is a stupid error. This will be fixed. Thanks!

This seems to work:

Code: Select all

import Blender
O=Blender.Object.Get()
Olist=[]
for o in O:
     print type(o)
     Olist.append(Blender.Object.Get(o))
print str(Olist), type(Olist[0])

but crash often on win32
if str() is not used.

Can't seem to get name in PutRaw to return anything except None, as in:-

Code: Select all

import Blender
from Blender.NMesh import Col
from Blender.Draw import *
import string

meshname="Cube"
me= Blender.NMesh.GetRaw(meshname)

i = 1
for f in me.faces:
	new = Blender.NMesh.GetRaw()
	new.verts = f.v
	f.mat = 0
	new.faces = [f]

	ob=Blender.NMesh.PutRaw(new)
	ob.name="Cube" + "." +  string.zfill(`i`, 3)
	print ob.name
	i = i + 1

print i ,"pieces"
print "-------------------------------"

Blender.Redraw()

I have a set of python scripts inside blender file, example: main.py, first.py
This files are not in my disk only in the blender file.
In the main.py I just to import the first.py with:
import first
or
from first import *
With the old python It works OK, but now an error message appears
"ImportError: No module named first"

[jms]

Win32 = > Win98:

Code: Select all

import Blender
L=Blender.Lamp.Get()
print L

crash...

Code: Select all

import Blender
L=Blender.Lamp.Get()
print str(L)

not.

[jms]

Code: Select all

import _Blender

Run Python script "Text.001" ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Text.001", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named _Blender

[jms]

a Blender.World.getCurrent()/setCurrent() functions could be useful.

[ray_theray]

This doesn't work:

Code: Select all

objs = Blender.Object.Get()
#objs returns ['Plane', 'Camera', etc...]
for obj in objs:
    #obj returns Plane (no quotes)
    name = obj.getData()

Fails with

Code: Select all

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'getData()'

Also, it appears that materials are now linked to objects (before it was linked with object data). In the settings window, I have "Material linked to" set to ObData as well.

Problem with matrix too:

Code: Select all

import Blender

L=Blender.Object.Get('Lamp.001')
print L.getMatrix()

this is perhaps not really a bug report for the new API, but in any case, this is what I got trying to run it:
./blender: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2.2' not found (required by ./blender)

system: redhat 8.0
