* bring back 'player' libtype, after investigation with ideasman.
scons/mingw works nicely, for some reason msvc fails to link still, will look further into it.
NOTE: this needs changes to stubs.c, but need to check with ideasman_42 how to fix with cmake. Probably linking order issues, but stubs.c currently generates warnings for msvc (redefinition of funcs) and errors for mingw (same redefinitions). Removing the offending lines from stubs.c fixes that.
* further cleaning of 'player' stuff. Now only 3 libs are remaining, of which ideally the stubs lib will be fixed at some point, fading away into the dark history of not-so-nice code. The current blenderplayer part is still a little bit hackish, I'll see if I can find a better alternative, for now it works good enough.
* first working changes to get blenderplayer linking
* blenderplayer/ moved into source/ (CMakeLists.txt changed for that too)
* added externs for bprogname to gp_ghost, so that it links properly
bpy.data, bpy.ops.object etc.
- added basic docs for bpy.props
- omit panel, menu and operator classes (took up too much space and not useful)
- exec cant be used as an operator suffix eg- CONSOLE_OT_exec --> CONSOLE_OT_execute (same for file)
- fixed some crashes when generating docs
Updated docs here

example. bpy.ops.tfm.rotate('INVOKE_REGION_WIN', pivot=(0,1,2), ......)
bpy_array.c - was too strict with types, 0 should be allowed as well as 0.0 in a float array.
Example code: http://www.pasteall.org/7332/c.
New API functions: http://www.pasteall.org/7330/c.
Maximum number of dimensions is currently limited to 3, but can be increased arbitrarily if needed.
What this means for ID property access:
* MeshFace.verts - dynamic array, size 3 or 4 depending on MFace.v4
* MeshTextureFace.uv - dynamic, 2-dimensional array, size depends on MFace.v4
* Object.matrix - 2-dimensional array
What this means for functions:
* more intuitive API possibility, for example:
Mesh.add_vertices([(x, y, z), (x, y, z), ...])
Mesh.add_faces([(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6), ...])
Python part is not complete yet, e.g. it is possible to:
MeshFace.verts = (1, 2, 3) # even if Mesh.verts is (1, 2, 3, 4) and vice-versa
MeshTextureFace.uv = [(0.0, 0.0)] * 4 # only if a corresponding MFace is a quad
but the following won't work:
MeshTextureFace.uv[3] = (0.0, 0.0) # setting uv[3] modifies MTFace.uv[1][0] instead of MTFace.uv[3]

This also adds the option to duplicate a particle system with an object.
--- description from the patch submission.
This patch includes my latest additions to the Python API developed for my Degree's Project.
It includes:
- Particle
- Vertex group dictionary in doc (to use with setvertexgroup/getvertexgroup)
- Particle.New return psys (not specified in doc)
- Draw As variable and dict
- Strand render toggle
- Object
- psys variable in duplicate
- Material
- Strand render variables
- Texture
- Use colorbands
- Lamp
- Spot buffer type selection
For now have pyrna_struct_as_srna look in the dict first for __rna__ before using PyDict_GetItemString.
Somehow __rna__ is not calling the pyrna_struct_getattro function, python find it first.
The only relyable way to get the rna from python currently is.
bpy.types.SomeType.__dict__['__rna__']
possible from python, but it's still work in progress.
Pointers and collections are restricted to types derived from
IDPropertyGroup (same as for operators), because RNA knows how to
allocate/deallocate those.
Collections have .add() and .remove(number) functions that can be
used. The remove function should be fixed to take an other argument
than a number.
With the IDPropertyGroup restriction, pointers are more like nested
structs. They don't have add(), remove() yet, not sure where to put
them. Currently the pointer / nested struct is automatically allocated
in the get() function, this needs to be fixed, rule is that RNA get()
will not change any data for thread safety.
Also, it is only possible to add properties to structs after they have
been registered, which needs to be improved as well.
Example code:
http://www.pasteall.org/7201/python
- rna classes, only include props and functions that are not inherited (epydoc then gives inheritance info)
- include function arguments and return values for in cross reference
- set python to 3.1 on linux (dont use FindPackage for now)
- remove duplicate settings (disable cache for copied settings, was quite confusing)
- added an option WITH_INSTALL, when disabled scripts and language files wont be copied to the target dir (better for quick builds)
- remove .svn (was still CVS), and pyc/pyc files after copy
- copy the 'io' as well as 'ui'
- CMake, use FIND_PACKAGE(Freetype) for unix/linux
- Only link with libdl.so on linux
- use statvfs rather then statfs for netbsd (size of statfs wasnt available)
- add x11 include path with ghost, glu.
- currently only distances work.
- user preferences, edit section to set the units and scale.
- option to display pairs (nicer for imperial display?)
- support for evaluating multiple comma separated values eg: 2',11" ..or.. 5ft, 4mil
- comma separated expressions/values accumulate 1+1,2**3,4cm/3
- attempted fast conversion from a value to a string so button drawing isn't too slow.
* imperial long/short *
- mile, mi
- yard, yd
- foot, '
- inch, "
- thou, mil
* metric long/short *
kilometer, km
meter, m
centimeter, cm
millimeter, mm
micrometer, um
nanometer, nm
picometer, pm
* Reviewed subtypes, making them more specific and adding new ones.
* Subtypes now have an associated type of units (length, area, volume,
mass, rotation, time, velocity, acceleration). These are not used
yet anywhere.
* Centralized code that decides the name of array items based on
subtype (XYZ, RGB), was copied in 3 places.
* RNA_def_float etc functions still need to be update, will do this
later together with another change.
Note...
- Python3.1 you don't need to add the .0 for divisions anymore (was esp annoying for button eval)
- Simple dimension input, imperial mi/yd/ft/in, metric km/m/cm/mm, Later could display these values and have a pref for scene scale, atm it assumes 1BU == 1m.
- added better error feedback when registering operators fails.
- added some python benchmark timers (prints on exit), times number of times py scripts run, average time and total % of time running py scripts.
