Re: Diving into python, some questions...

[Nick <nick.petit(at)gmail.com>]

it's .Parameters (watch the capitalization, Python is unforgiving...) 
I sometimes cast the Parameters to a list ( "list(oObj.Parameters)" ) and iterate through them as you normally would any list, but I've only rarely and on very specific cases run into problems with getting a collection from doing a 
oObj.Parameters call... those cases involve custom props, proxy params and ScOps on the prop, or ye old dynamic dispatch problem... 

btw, did I mention I'm still on 4.2 using python 2.3? (Hopefully not for too much longer...)

i have been using nestedobjects alot, but seems silly.

 

why cant i just use .parameters and return a collection of parameters and loop through as objects, access their values. period

With Python I have noticed to be a bit more picky with parameters. In
e.g. if you run a loop to return the name of all the parameters under a
given object, lets say a Pass object, all you'll get is a Name
Parameter. To access RenderOptions or Partition data, you actually have
to use the NestedObjects Property. So this might be what your actually
looking for.
