Instance Variable Details

fakeUser

When set to True, this datablock wont be removed, even if nothing is using it. All data has this disabled by default except for Actions.
Type:
bool

lib

path to the blend file this datablock is stored in (readonly).

lib will be None unless you are using external blend files with (File, Append/Link)

Note: the path may be relative, to get the full path use Blender.sys.expandpath
Type:
string or None

name

unique name within each blend file.

The name is case sensitive and 21 characters maximum length.

Note: a blend file may have naming collisions when external library data is used, be sure to check the value of lib.

Note: Setting a value longer then 21 characters will be shortened
Type:
string

objects

Objects that this group uses. This is a sequence with-list like access so use list(grp.objects) if you need to use a list (where grp is a group). The groups objects can be set by assigning a list or iterator of objects to the groups objects. objects.link() and objects.unlink() also work with the the objects iterator just like with lists.

Note: append() and remove() have been deprecated and replaced by link() and unlink(), after Blender 2.43 append() and remove() will not be available.
Type:
custom object sequence

tag

A temporary tag that to flag data as being used within a loop. always set all tags to True or False before using since blender uses this flag for its own internal operations.
Type:
bool

users

The number of users this datablock has. (readonly) Zero user datablocks are de-allocated after reloading and saving.
Type:
int
