CMake build option WITH_PYTHON_MODULE, will build ./bin/bpy.so
This allows 'bpy' to be imported from python or other applications/IDE's which embed python, eg:
python -c "import bpy ; bpy.ops.render.render(write_still=True)"
This runs in background mode and has similar restrictions to running a script:
blender --background --python test.py
TODO:
- install to site-packages with blender scripts
- add support for imp.reload()
- rename rna collection structs Main prefix to BlendData: eg, MainObjects --> BlendDataObjects
- printing python collection now prints its type (when available)
- renamed shadowed vars in bpy_rna.c.
- when making functions static I also made debugging/test functions static, reverse and add definitions to headers instead.
- python 3.2 does 'import site' on startup which now tries to parse pyconfig.h which isn't copied. so for now just run without importing 'site', alternative would be to copy the header file for posix systems.
- cache PYTHON_VERSION variable so it can be set to 3.2, needed for copying python installation's other then 3.1.
Will need to write full docs on this on the wiki.
basic info.
- 21 tests, OBJ/3DS/X3D/FBX, 3 tests per format import export. STL, PLY, BVH are TODO.
- uses files in ../lib/tests (checkout separate)
- run with CMake Makefiles "make test" or "ctest"
- currently checks against basic MD5 hash on scene import and file MD5 hash on export (realize this wont work predictably on binary formats *TODO*).
- currently uses a generic script for all tests with arguments to specify command to run, expected output, testing method, files to check against etc.
Has already proved useful, found a number of bugs in import export and some in blender too.
Bringing back missing feature: Create new directory by typing a not existing name into the directory button.
Note: Small issue still with autocomplete -> if typing the new directory directly after autocomplete, it doesn't execute the operator yet.
Also fixed some minor compile/cleanup issues with warning about signed/unsigned comparison and missing header.
fix included in report from Martijn Berger (mberger)
made some small changes.
- use ints rather then unsigned long for printing, values are not likely to be very large.
- CMake remove strict flags from collada build dir since I had warnings in the collada headers.
- added xml2 to collada libraries else I couldnt get collada building.
from mathutils.geometry import PolyFill
I couldn't find a way for python's inittab to do this so just inserting mathutils.geometry into sys.modules manually.
- implicit function declaration.
- no return type set for a function.
- declaration after statement.
This may be too strict but in general I prefer we don't allow commits with these warnings.
Applies to cmake/gcc and scons/linux.
