Holy cow. Is it really necessary to code FIVE LINES in order to create an
object in python? I can understand why people complain about the API..

Why doesn't "Object.New" automatically link the object to the current scene,
and the data to itself, like the UI does?!

Something like

ob = Object.Add(Mesh.Primitives.UVsphere(10, 20, 3), 'mySphere')

(so: Object.Add(data, name))

should really be enough...
