- ToolSettings had its id.data set to NULL when taken directly from the context (causing a crash in cases)
- menu for changing vert/edge/face selection now a python menu, removed operator.
- wm.context_set_value(), would really prefer not to have this since it evaluates the value as a python expression however there are no ways to define arrays in PyOperators
- python defined classes will be used when available (otherwise automaically generated metaclasses are made as before)
- use properties rather then functions for python defined rna class's
- call the classes getattr AFTER doing an RNA lookup, avoids setting and clearing exceptions for most attribute lookups, tested UI scripts are ~25% faster.
- extending rna py classes this way is a nicer alternative to modifying the generated metaclasses in place.
Example class
--- snip
class Object(bpy.types.ID):
def _get_children(self):
return [child for child in bpy.data.objects if child.parent == self]
children = property(_get_children)
--- snip
The C initialization function looks in bpy_types.py for classes matching RNA structure names, using them when available.
This means all objects in python will be instances of these classes.
Python properties/funcs defined in ID py class will also be available for subclasses for eg. (Group Mesh etc)
