[Bf-committers] Custom Properties - python issues

[Hart's Antler]

1. KeyError: 'the length of IDProperty names is limited to 31 characters'object['x'*32] = 'why not make the limit 32 or 64?, 31 is an odd number - not possible to use md5sum hashes either as a workaround'
2. inner single quotes are invalid## this failslayout.prop( object, "['my-custom-prop']" )		# a better warning should be printed, or single quotes should be supported## this works - double quotes must be usedlayout.prop( object, '["my-custom-prop"]' )
3. dicts are allowed, but layout.prop(...) can not show each subkey on its own## (the dict can be viewed as a string from Custom Properties Panel, but thats not very useful for the user) ##object['x'] = {'a':1, 'b':2}box.prop( object, '["x"]["a"]' )		# error: rna_uiItemR: property not found: Object.["x"]["a"]box.prop( object, '["x"]' )		# this also fails

4. booleans not supported by custom propertiesobject['my-custom-prop'] = True		# converted to 1 without any warninglayout.prop( object, '["my-custom-prop"]', toggle=True )	# toggle is ignored, numeric entry is displayed instead
## workaround ##class mypanel(bpy.types.Panel):	bl_space_type = 'PROPERTIES'	bl_region_type = 'WINDOW'	bl_context = "object"	bl_label = "toggle custom prop example"	@classmethod	def poll(cls, context): return True	def draw(self, context):		layout = self.layout		ob = context.active_object		tag = 'my-custom-prop'		if tag not in ob.keys(): ob[tag] = True		v = ob[tag]		if v: icon = 'CHECKBOX_HLT'		else: icon = 'CHECKBOX_DEHLT'		op = layout.operator( 'toggle_prop', text=tag, icon=icon )		op.propname = tag
class toggle_prop_op(bpy.types.Operator):                	'''operator: prop toggle helper'''  	bl_idname = "toggle_prop"  	bl_label = "toggle"                    	bl_options = {'REGISTER', 'UNDO'}	propname = StringProperty(name="property name", description="...", maxlen=32, default="")	@classmethod	def poll(cls, context): return True	def invoke(self, context, event):		ob = context.active_object		ob[ self.propname ] = not ob[ self.propname ]		return {'FINISHED'}
