Marked Sharp to Creases Converter Possible?

[Normal]

Wings' obj exporter now exports smoothing groups based on the hard edges in your model, and Blender can import and use the groups with the edgesplit modifier. I rarely use edgesplit, but I use creases on most all of my models. As I don't think it exists, I want to try to make an edgesplit to creases convertor (emphasis on try) and was wondering it's possible . Searching through the API docs, I found that they at least mention creases, but can't seem to find anything about edgesplit.

This is how I think it could go: 1. Select sharp edges 2. Clear Sharp selected edges. 3. Crease selected edges +1.0 3. Doable?

The following code will do what you need, quick script really...

import Blender

def convert():
    
    editmode = 0
    
    if Blender.Window.EditMode():
        editmode = 1
        Blender.Window.EditMode(0)
    
    scene = Blender.Scene.GetCurrent()
    act = scene.objects.active
    
    mesh = None
    
    if act and act.type == 'Mesh':
        mesh =     act.getData(mesh = True)
    
    for edge in mesh.edges:
        if edge.flag & Blender.Mesh.EdgeFlags["SHARP"]:
            edge.crease = 255
            edge.flag &= ~Blender.Mesh.EdgeFlags["SHARP"]
    
    
    if editmode:
        Blender.Window.EditMode(1)
    
    

convert()

You, sir, are awesome. Works like a charm. I'm now inspired to try my best to learn the API. I only know a bit of Pygame(half through a book), but now I think I'll spend some time with learning some Blenderness. Thank you very much.
