[Bf-python] radius of collision sphere

[Gilbert, Joseph]

The object and mesh datastructs have a bounding box member that contains
the 8 points that make up the bounding box for the object. This is not
currently accessable through the api.  If the bounding box itself is not
good for collision detection, with the 8 points that make the top and
bottom of the box could be used to calculate an arc which could lead to
a sphere calculation. I haven't looked at how to do that but Im sure
someone has had this problem before.

Subject: [Bf-python] radius of collision sphere

I am using Blender objects in my game engine. I need one feature which I
think
is not available in current Python API. I need to define collision
sphere for
given mesh/object. Sphere is defined by its center and radius.

Is it possible to create sphere as "sphere" and not mesh or metaball? Is
it
possible to read it in Python API? Probably not. What would you
recommnend to
make it available? I could draw mesh sphere, but I must have it's
radius. How?
