<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial">I got the Python API integrated and spent the week testing it. Even though I am not totally done, most of the system is in place. I have had to reimplement cross-platform polymorphism for our API and that demanded some low-level changes and quite a lot of testing. The greatest challenge is having to support different situations that do not mix well together (return by reference / reference by value, templates, polymorphism support, namespace collisions). I consider myself in the last moments of the testing phase. I am currently having issues with shaders that are implemented in Python. I should have the needed corrections finished tonight.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial">I was supposed to start lib3ds but because of this much needed testing on the SWIG-less Python API, I didn't get to it yet. I will do once Python shaders also work correctly.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial">Another important feature developed is the ability to select the style module dynamically at run-time. It is not hard-coded anymore. The style module can be selected via the Freestyle tab in the Scene panel. This has allowed me to see which style modules do not work properly on the current system.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial">I am late in the schedule. The biggest worry I have is that it is my last week of work before the August 18 deadline, since I am leaving on August 9 for a week at SIGGRAPH. Being a volunteer, I will not have time to advance the project from August 9 to August 17.</p>
