This script creates perfectly symmetrical armatures.
With default configuration it will:
- Look for bones that have the reference suffix (".L") and
adjust/create the according opposite bone (suffix ".R");
- Center align all bones that _don't_ have the suffix ".X".
Please check the script's homepage and the thread at blender.org (last link button above) for more info.
For this version users need to edit the script code to change default options.

# With default configuration it will:
#
# - Look for bones that have the reference suffix (".L") and

# CONFIGURATION

# Note: Theses values will later be editable via a gui interface
# within Blender.
# CENTER_SUFFIX is the suffix for bones that should (or shouldn't) get
# center aligned. The default is '.X'.

# CENTER_SUFFIX_MODE:
#
# 'include' only bones with the CENTER_SUFFIX appended
# get center aligned.
#
# 'exclude' (default)
# all bones except those with the CENTER_SUFFIX
# appended get center aligned.
#
#
# 'off' bones will not get center aligned at all.
#
CENTER_SUFFIX_MODE = 'exclude'
# The suffix for the reference and opposite side of the
# armature. Bone positions of the opposite side will be overwritten by
# the mirrored values of the reference side.
# The default is REF_SUFFIX = '.L' and OPP_SUFFIX = '.R'.

# Values:
# 0 for X (default)
