Group

This module provides access to Group data in Blender.

 # Make Dupli's Real, as a python script.

 for ob in scn.objects:
   print 'Object Group Settings'
   print ob.name, ob.type

   print 'num dup obs:', len(dupe_obs)

   for dup_ob, dup_matrix in dupe_obs:

     new_ob.setMatrix(dup_matrix)
     new_ob.sel= 1 # select all real instances.

   ob.sel=0 # Desel the original object

 Window.RedrawAll()

 # Make a new group with the selected objects, and add an instance of this group.

 from Blender import *

 # Remove all non mesh objects from a group.

 from Blender import *

 # New Group
 grp= Group.Get('mygroup')
 for ob in list(grp.objects): # Convert to a list before looping because we are removing items
