[Bf-python] This code on linux does't work

[Willian Padovani Germano]

Hi Gianmario,

I tested it again, typing the example on the Text Editor and running 
with ALT+P (the example below has an extra space in the "elif evt == 
Draw.REDRAW:" line, but that should only cause a syntax error.  In my 
tests it's working fine: you left-click on the 3d view and the 3d cursor 
moves to the chosen position (not exactly where you clicked, but where 
the mouse pointer is when the code is executed, which can be different 
on slower machines if you move the mouse after clicking).

I tested with a cvs build newer than 2.34 but not current, Python 2.3.3, 
linux.  Also tested before 2.34.

Could someone else also try the example below and tell us if it works?

What it should do: it takes control of the main event loop and ...

- pops a silly msg when SPACE is pressed
- moves the 3d cursor when left mouse button is pressed (better do it at 
the 3d view)
- exits when either ESC or q is pressed
