This is an annoying but which isn't a problem for Python because they don't execute multiple scripts, one after another (there is one __main__ and everything else is a module).
So when the __main__ module in sys.modules is overwritten, it decref's the module and clears the dictionary with _PyModule_Clear(), even though the modules dictionary is still in use.
Strangely this problem only happens with Python3.1.1 and Python3.2x svn but not 3.1.2
This commit restores the namespace after _PyModule_Clear() sets all its values to None.
- Python calling operators didn't run WM_operator_properties_sanitize() so enum functions called from python were given a NULL context.
- PROP_ENUM_NO_CONTEXT and PROP_NEVER_NULL used the same value in the enum (possible conflict).
- when python operators fail to execute they were returning RUNNING_MODAL, now return CANCELLED
now when an operator fails it gives an error popup as well as a message in the terminal.
* Keyframing operators now use the reports system for displaying all its error messages.
- The benefit of this is that users no longer need to check the console for error messages if keyframing fails.
- Unfortunately, reports are not currently viewable in any space/view in Blender, so...
* Added a temporary operator (UI_OT_reports_to_textblock), which can be accessed in the UI from the button which appears in place of the icon when more than one report exists. This dumps the current list of reports to a textblock "Recent Reports", from which they can be viewed.
This isn't really nice, but at least we now have a way to view these again, which makes debugging some things a pain.
* Bugfix #24606 - when trying to add keyframes to F-Curves with F-Modifiers already which alter the curve significantly enough that the keyframes will have no effect, there are now warnings which aim to alleviate any confusion.
Also use const char in many other parts of blenders code.
Currently this gives warnings for setting operator id, label and description since these are an exception and allocated beforehand.
- Reverse vector * matrix multiplication order. now this matches how numpy works.
- Disallow 'matrix * vec' and 'quat * vec', now it raises an error.
- Add missing in-place multiply 'vec *= quat'
Many scripts will need to be updated for this but at least it will error rather then failing silently.
WM_operator_poll() could fail in cases WM_operator_name_call() would succeed because calling the operator would setup the context before calling poll.
this would result in python raising an invalid error or menu items being greyed out.
now python can also check with an operator context:
bpy.ops.object.editmode_toggle.poll('INVOKE_SCREEN')
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.
having the blend file as a part of the __file__ variable is not essential, this is fixed in python 3.2 so add an ifdef and don't use the blend file path for py older then 3.2.
Simple python benchmark shows this to be about 3x faster in the case where an update isn't needed.
This also speeds up rna function argument parsing, since each arg in a function call did 2 string lookups on the context which were never needed.
globbing vs explicit is discussed here.

Practical implications are:
- developers need to keep CMakeLists.txt files up to date.
- Users wont get strange linking errors if they build after a file is added, since CMake detects CMakeLists.txt is modified and automatically reconfigure.
Both stored the filename of the blend file, but G.sce stored the last opened file.
This will make blender act differently in some cases since a relative path to the last opened file will no longer resolve (which is correct IMHO since that file isnt open and the path might not even be valid anymore).
Tested linking with durian files and rendering to relative paths when no files is loaded however we may need to have some operators give an error if they are used on the default startup.blend.
- made interface, windowmanager, readfile build without unused warnings.
- re-arranged CMake's source/blender build order so less changed libs are build later, eg: IK, avi
applied to python api and exotic.c, removed some args being passed down which were not needed.
keyword args for new mathutils types were being ignored when they should raise an error.
First commit to make some structure in doc/ directory.
- moved source/blender/python/doc -> doc/python_api
- moved source/gameengine/PyDoc/*.rst -> doc/python_api/rst
- modified accordingly sphinx_doc_gen.py and sphinx_doc_gen.sh
(later on I'll try alternative/ scripts by neXyon as promised :)
- source/gameengine/PyDoc/ is still there because contains epydoc stuff for the bge, will ask more and look into it later
- bpy.app.debug can now be set, removed bpy.data.debug (since this is not blendfile data)
- added bpy.app.tempdir, this is needed because the userpref temp dir isn't always set, $TEMP may be used instead and scripts need temp dir access.
now addon path is created using the same path functions and selecting where to save the startup.blend
also made some minor changes to path handling funcs.
- fixed WM_OT_context_cycle_int was causing problems with int overflow, now it cycles properly.
- rename QUOTE macro to STRINGIFY_ARG, and added STRINGIFY, which is used more often since it gives the value as a string.
When there are 2+ consecutive deform modifiers, the second modifier was getting incorrect normals, this only showed up for the displace modifier since its the only deform modifier that uses vertex normals.
It would have been easy to fix this by always calculating normals on deform modifiers, but slow.
To fix this I added a function to check if a deform modifier needs normals, so the normal calculation function only runs if there are 2 modifiers in a row and the second uses normals.
