(1) Blender 2.6, Python Manual with full API and Tutorials
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Extensions/...
(2) Run python scripts through blender from command line:
blender -b -P script.py
blender -b --python-console (for interactive console)
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Comm...
./blender -b --python-console
>>> import bpy
>>> bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_uv_sphere_add(size=3.0,location=(0,0,0))
>>> bpy.ops.render.render(write_still=True)
Does this work on a Mac and/or Linux?
My point in the post was more that the embedded Python in Blender isn't really a "binding", it forces you to use Blender's 'internal' Python installation, so you must reinstall all the packages that you need specifically for Blender's Python (I don't know how, but I think there is a way). Also, this makes it impossible to use virtualenv, I guess (not sure).
In short, it would be cool if it just "worked from Python".
