Blender, Python Scripting Tutorials

Question

I already know some Python and got interested in extending Blender using Python scripts. Can anyone suggest me some good tutorials or books to learn this subject further? I'm already looking at Blender documentation, but I would like to learn some more because I'm a newbie when it comes to 3D modeling.

Answer 1

The Blender 2.5 Python 3.1 manual has some good links to both basic internal tutorials for using Python scripts and some tutorials on other sites.

Bear in mind that this is Python 3.1, not 2.x, so you'd have to adjust accordingly.

You'll be using the Blender Python API (not so sure how well it's documented, but you should be fine). I'd familiarize myself with Blender and Python first (if you haven't already), then do some basic tutorials, and finally dive into the API.
