Hi Jiba!

concerning the name of the IpoCurve's current value you access with 
ipo.getCurveCurval(x), I'm sorry, but the current API does not give 
access to it...  I realize now it's really bad, and I'll add a more 
handy function in next release.

a) concerning the equivalent function of getCurve(name), I propose to 
implement
ipo.getCurveCurval(name or int ) instead  of ipo.getCurveCurval(int ) ?

b) Concerning segfaults. I did not notice... Will test more thoroughly...

Will look at that too...


Tks for your interest!
