[Bf-python] Can I add some help?

[Willian Padovani Germano]

Hi,

> Do you need my help with something specific?

I sent an email earlier this week to this list telling about what isn't done
yet.  You can read it in the archives, but shortly: the basic modules that
Blender 2.25 to 2.27 have are already in place, with 3 exceptions:

- the base module shadow is gone, meaningless in our new implementation;
- Mesh was just a wrapper of NMesh done in python and left incomplete, so
it's probably better to get rid of it now;
- sys may be a useful addition for users without full Python installations,
but we were told the new Python has a better way, that let's us pack a zip
of builtin modules as a Blender extra download.  We still need to
investigate that.

failed.

What was missing / not working?  We'd like to know.

You can start reading the text about exppython in the main doc dir.  After
that, the best route is to find a module that isn't available yet but is
necessary and look at other files to implement it.  We're using C, but
trying hard to write simple, readable and plain code, so that probably isn't
a problem.
