Module Types

The Blender.Types submodule

This module is a dictionary of Blender Python types, for type checking.

Example:
 import Blender
 from Blender import Types, Object, NMesh, Camera, Lamp
 #
 objs = Object.Get() # a list of all objects in the current scene
 for o in objs:
   print
   print o, type(o)
   data = o.getData()
   print type(data)
   if type(data) == Types.NMeshType:
     if len(data.verts):
       print "its vertices are obviously of type:", type(data.verts[0])
     print "and its faces:", Types.NMFaceType
   elif type(data) == Types.CameraType:
     print "It's a Camera."
   elif type(data) == Types.LampType:
     print "Let there be light!"
