[Radiance-general] Python script

[Thomas Bleicher]

Hi Ryan.

Interesting that Blender is coming back to Radiance. I am following the
Python API development but I'm still not sure it has all the bells and
whistles to make it worth the effort.

Regarding your Popen problem: Do you have problems with other Perl scripts
as well or is it only genskyvec.pl?

I do remember that I had some issues with command lines and Popen on
Windows when I was writing falsecolor2. It's mostly the correct quoting of
the arguments. I don't recall doing anything specific that solved my
problem, though.

Can you test your code outside of Blender in plain Python or do you have
too many dependencies on the Blender modules?

Regards,
Thomas
