[Bf-python] blender python script error

[Bassam Kurdali]

Try

bpy.context.scene.frame_set()

Operators rely on context so it can get hard to satisfy them (you could also try making a timeline window visible). You can override context by paying an optional dict to the operator but I've found this tricky to get right in practice.
Oh, and welcome to this blender thing,
Bassam
