Python Script repository site [Work in Progress]

[mpan3]

Project Status: Scanning the web for script, some are mirrored, some are linked.

http://mpan3.homeip.net/python.folder/

I tried to keep the interface as clean as possible, while the catagory view might not be great, and the sorting is a bit arbitrary, the search function should serve most people well. It is a exact keyword match search...

salvage the web for python scripts can be very time consuming, i expect the maintainance to be equally difficult due to the sheer amount of data. Because of this, I am looking for volunteers to help with this project. I'll make you accessible to my site so you can contribute to this awsome project.

I've already basically copied the python script page on Blender.org to my site. All the LIVES ones are now accessible through the BPSR...and a lot more script to come.

[Mr Ouchie]

yes please!

There's a script repository on Blender.org (needless to say, it's out of date). It's also been attempted here, on this forum, a few times. The problem is that the amount of new/updated scripts becomes too much to handle.

[mpan3]

I shall again attempt it.

First of all, i need to know where to collect scripts:
some of my sources are:

http://blenderartists.org/
blender.org
http://mediawiki.blender.org/
blendernation

any other foreign or independent sources that i missed?

I am hoping to unify the python plugin storage and distribution so that the user can easily find the latest version of the script that does what they wanted.


I think the main concern is to have authors to cooperate and submitt their scripts. But of course, the site will be able to process third party's submission so that even john doe can send a message to the repository with a link to a script written by some other brilliant soul.

Good luck!

I would like a wiki based solution. Please use some sort of script template and be careful about planning navigation and the structure of the system so that it will be easy to use.

Some things to be mentioned in the template could be the script (link to it or even the whole script), creator(s), license, release notes, supported version(s) and script compatible with them (yes there may be separate versions for different blender versions), category, comments/notes by the users, documentation or link to it...

Good luck!

And if so, it would be best to do it on a section of the blender wiki, rather than further fragmenting efforts.

I can't believe I am actually doing this. It was suppose to be a question that deserves an answer such as 'go here to find a repository'...

Well, I accept the challenge, expect a prototype within the week.

hi, some of my scripts are here(I met some people looking for them sometimes on the net), some are also with tutorials, and they were all done for blender 2.34.

currently i'm working on a blender repository that works on a local and network.
the main objectives of this scripts are:
- the hability to create repository's and to access them on local or on network computers;
- the user can access a repository and for example: just download the materials that are in all the .blend files available in that repository.
- you can preview, materials and other stuff..
- and other cool stuff

the script will be available in 2 ou 3 weeks

Narven, are you making a repository of python scripts or a repository of blender files and materials USING python scripts. From what you said, it seems you are making the latter(second) one.

its a repository of blender files, images, textures, sounds... blender themes, everything you can use in blender

Ok, I am thinking of using CMSimple to power the site? It might not hte best best way, but I'll give it a try and see how it goes. I am really trying to stick to the simple stuff. No need to go all out with spectra or typo3... I donno, i might be completely wrong on this one. Guess we'll see...

[mpan3]

bump for the need for feedbacks.

[MADCello]

I just want to say that IMO your work is very important. Thank you!

[mpan3]

Updated, and thank you all for the support. I'd appreciate it more if I get some people to help me with the project.
