creating and extruding NURBS curves

Coding Python Support

Hi,

I found the following in the ‘Curve’ documentation:

from Blender import Curve, Object, Scene
c = Curve.New()             # create new  curve data
cur = Scene.getCurrent()    # get current scene
ob = Object.New('Curve')    # make curve object
ob.link(c)                  # link curve data with this object
cur.link(ob)                # link object into scene

but don’t manage to use it for creating a curve.

Is there anybody who knows how to create a NURBS curve from a python script?

I also would be happy to know how to extrude a curve via python.

In order to educate myself I searched in the blender sources and found the following file
…/2.36/src/blender/source/blender/python/api2_2x/Curve.c
but do not have the slightes clou how to start to make sence out of the code :frowning:
Are there any informations / tutorials / etc. for beginners like me who would like to understand a little bit more ot the internals of Blender?

Thanks, Dietrich
