Script execute on render

Hello. As the topic suggests, I want to know how to get a script (or collection of scripts) to execute on animation render. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Currently this event is not available. It has been requested at blender.org forums here. Who knows if any of the developers saw this though.

Hmm. that kind of confuses me… What good is scripting for animation if you cant get the script to execute when you render an animation? Can someone please enlighten me?

Thanks mucho

If you want something to update every frame, you might have to use scriptlinks (which I don’t really know how to do).
If you just want something to happen when you render it, you could always have your script render the scene. Check out: http://www.blender.org/modules/documentation/234PythonDoc/Render-module.html

heu? frame change is the choice to go for you. when rendering animation you move through frames. so triger it on framechange.
here is an example. It use the framechange triger to animate the wave effect moving on a grid.
