batch_remove(ids=(id1, id2, ...))

Remove (delete) several IDs at once.

WARNING: Considered experimental feature currently.

Note that this function is quicker than individual calls to remove() (from bpy.types.BlendData ID collections), but less safe/versatile (it can break Blender, e.g. by removing all scenes…).

Parameters:ids – Iterables of IDs (types can be mixed).
classmethod bl_rna_get_subclass(id, default=None)
Parameters:id (string) – The RNA type identifier.
Returns:The RNA type or default when not found.
Return type:bpy.types.Struct subclass
classmethod bl_rna_get_subclass_py(id, default=None)
Parameters:id (string) – The RNA type identifier.
Returns:The class or default when not found.
Return type:type
user_map([subset=(id1, id2, ...), ]key_types={..}, value_types={..})

Returns a mapping of all ID datablocks in current bpy.data to a set of all datablocks using them.

For list of valid set members for key_types & value_types, see: bpy.types.KeyingSetPath.id_type.

Parameters:
  • subset (sequence) – When passed, only these data-blocks and their users will be included as keys/values in the map.
  • key_types (set of strings) – Filter the keys mapped by ID types.
  • value_types (set of strings) – Filter the values in the set by ID types.
Returns:

dictionary of bpy.types.ID instances, with sets of ID’s as their values.
Return type:

dict
