& Maintenance The initial proposal was to port all the current code directly to the new Blender Python API. See Code Porting Strategy Additionally • It was decided that as the code was ported that the vertices_raw returns a list of values -> (7,2,0) 2.1.4 Naming Conventions • Stick to the official Python style guide (PEP 8). • Instances of Blender classes start with b_ whilst instances of nif classes it used to manage dependencies, needs to be updated for nix platforms. Install Python 3.4 Windows 1. Download Python 3.4. 2. Pick the installer appropriate for your platform, and follow the instructions
