- Initialize python types with PyType_Ready, which adds methods to the type dictionary.
- use Pythons get/setattro (uses a python string for the attribute rather then char*). Using basic C strings seems nice but internally python converts them to python strings and discards them for most functions that accept char arrays.
- Method lookups use the PyTypes dictionary (should be faster then Py_FindMethod)
- Renamed __getattr -> py_base_getattro, _getattr -> py_getattro, __repr -> py_base_repr, py_delattro, py_getattro_self etc.
From here is possible to put all the parent classes methods into each python types dictionary to avoid nested lookups (api has 4 levels of lookups in some places), tested this but its not ready yet.
Simple tests for getting a method within a loop show this to be between 0.5 and 3.2x faster then using Py_FindMethod()
Added the method into the PyType so python knows about the methods (its supposed to work this way).
This means in the future the api can use PyType_Ready() to store the methods in the types dictionary.
Python3 removes Py_FindMethod and we should not be using it anyway since its not that efficient.
Use 'const char *' rather then the C++ 'STR_String' type for the attribute identifier of python attributes.
Each attribute and method access from python was allocating and freeing the string.
A simple test with getting an attribute a loop shows this speeds up attribute lookups a bit over 2x.
I'm getting this error now:
GPG_Application.cpp: In member function 'void GPG_Application::stopEngine()':
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/include/python2.3/marshal.h:12: error: too many arguments to function 'PyObject* PyMarshal_WriteObjectToString(PyObject*)'
GPG_Application.cpp:720: error: at this point in file
Are we offically not supporint older versions of python now? :)

* bugfix for BGE python api - SetParent actuator getObject would segfault if the object was not set.
* Added utility function ConvertPythonToGameObject() that can take a GameObject, string or None and set the game object from this since it was being done in a number of places.
* allow setObject(None), since no object is valid for actuators, Python should be able to set this.
* added optional argument for getObject() so it returns the KX_GameObject rather then its name, would prefer this be default but it could break existing games.
Certain actuators hold a pointer to an objects: Property,
SceneCamera, AddObject, Camera, Parent, TractTo. When a
group is duplicated, the actuators that point to objects
within the group will be relinked to point to the
replicated objects and not to the original objects.
This helps to setup self-contained group with a camera
following a character for example.
This feature also works when adding a single object
(and all its children) with the AddObject actuator.
The second part of the patch extends the protection
against object deletion to all the actuators of the above
list (previously, only the TrackTo, AddObject and
Property actuators were protected). In case the target
object of these actuators is deleted, the BGE won't
crash.
Keyboard sensors can now hook escape key. Ctrl-Break can be used from within blender if you've forgotten an end game actuator.
Fixed a stupid bug preventing some actuators working (like TrackTo).
[SCons] Build with Solid as default when enabling the gameengine in the build process
[SCons] Build solid and qhull from the extern directory and link statically against them
That was about it.
There are a few things that needs double checking:
* Makefiles
* Projectfiles
* All the other systems than Linux and Windows on which the build (with scons) has been successfully tested.
