Scripting under the windows environment some very interesting examples in here

Plotting via python

Spent most of the afternoon trying to sort the plotting features in scipy – looks like my problem was that once I called the plot function I also needed to call the show function so the the graph would indeed show on screen. This could be overcome by just inserting the show () function at the bottom of the code segment of the plot function.

Data extraction from the web

I was doing some work for a client a couple of days ago – as always I was running short on time and needed it done yesterday. The job entailed trying to finish off the shipping costs of a product that would be posted from Ireland to a number of countries.

Lucky for me An Post here in Ireland have an online application that allow the checking of the shipping costs problem was that it was time consuming to check all the shipping costs.

COM support for photoshop with Python mhh think not !!!

Had another quick look at trying to get python to control photoshop earlier on today but the beast was having none of it. I’ve used the gencache method which seemed as if it was the route forward but no success and I cant see a way of getting it to work.
Documentation on the web is rather scarce or non existent would be a better means of describing it.

Python to Excel

Finally manged to get python to communicate with excel and write data to the file.

The script below is structured so that the user selects a folder and the automatically reads in all files in that folder outputting the average and standard deviation to excel.

jmsoler.free.fr

Advance scripting techniques using python in Blender. A site that has been around for some time though the content material is still a viable resource to have as there are some interesting concepts that are being explored at the site.

COM scripting

I must use python for more COM programming but I don't think I’m going to have the time in the coming months as I’m starting a new project in Dublin that’s going to take up quiet a lot of my time. Have a few interesting ideas using Photoshop so you’ll probably see some more scripts popping up in the coming weeks as I start investigation the possibilities of getting both applications to interaction with each other.
