[Bf-python] TypeError adding Text to a scene

[Ron Wheeler]

In general, the API documentation is terrible (examples use methods or 
properties that do not appear in the documentation,
lots of properties and methods seem to work that are not documented)
but I have not been able to find the sources for any of the 
documentation or find the code for the classes in the sources so I can 
read them for the whole story.

I am currently stuck on trying to add Text to a scene as a child of a 
mesh that I want to animate with a script.

The following code is supposed to generate a text Object that I can 
associate to a mesh as a child.

It generates an error.
The scn is OK and I can add a camara, a Lamp and a bunch of meshes to it 
but creating text in the scene does not seem to work.


def makeTextObject(scn,name,text,type="top"):
   myTxt=Text.New("MyText")
   myTxt.write("test Text")
   print "Made a text called " + myTxt.name

   textOb = scn.objects.new(myTxt)    #Generates the TypeError

   print "Made a Text object called " + textOb.name + "containing" + text
   return textOb



TypeError: expected an object and optionally a string as arguments
