Constraints module (was: [Bf-python] Looking for a project)

[Gilbert, Joseph T.]

No they should accessible from the object. If your going to write the
constraints module I suggest you take a look at the work that I posted
to the mailing list some time back.

So Pose constraints are found (deep down) in the bPoseChannel struct of 
ob->pose instead of ob->constraints.  And only poses have IK or Action 
constaints.... from what I can see in the source.

I assume the constraints for Poses should be accessible as a bone 
attribute [sequence of constraints] as opposed to an object attribute?
