[Bf-committers] OFF export/import, and N-Gones/B-Mesh

[Roger Wickes]

it is a work in progress
you should build your own py api doc based on the version you are running from svn.

Okay, after a few unforeseen projects that required immediate attention, I
have now gotten to spend several hours on this project again.  However, I
have run into a major problem with the API.  The 2.5 API introduction claims
that the way to get data into and out of blender, is from bpy.data, in the
APi, it says that bpi.data is subject to change, however, it doesn't even
list the current working API for bpy.data.  (I'm looking at the API here,
http://www.blender.org/documentation/250PythonDoc/contents.html).  I've
looked up and down through the API and cannot find it, I've also looked at
several of the other importers/exporters that are already in 2.5, which has
helped very little (other than showing that bpy.data does actually exist).
Am I expected to just look through the source code to see what functions are
currently stored in bpy.data, or am I just missing something?

Thank you.
