batch_remove(ids)#

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

orphans_purge()#

Remove (delete) all IDs with no user.

Parameters:

do_local_ids (bool, optional) – Include unused local IDs in the deletion, defaults to True
do_linked_ids (bool, optional) – Include unused linked IDs in the deletion, defaults to True
do_recursive (bool, optional) – Recursively check for unused IDs, ensuring no orphaned one remain after a single run of that function, defaults to False

Returns:

The number of deleted IDs.

temp_data(filepath=None)#

A context manager that temporarily creates blender file data.

Parameters:: filepath (str, bytes or NoneType) – The file path for the newly temporary data. When None, the path of the currently open file is used.
Returns:: Blend file data which is freed once the context exists.
Return type:: bpy.types.BlendData

user_map(subset, key_types, value_types)#

Returns a mapping of all ID data-blocks 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:
