blender 2.55 python scripting introduction?

is there an introduction/tutorial available somewhere for getting started with blender 2.55 scripting?

i have just found the API reference so far.

the first problem i have is this:

i copied the simple template operator to the op directory and after restarting blender this operator was available and could be called from the console.

now if i add stuff to this operator for experimentation, changes don’t have any effect until i restart blender. how can i force a reloading of the python file without a restart?

alt-p executes your script (reloading the operator)
F8 reloads all scripts

thank you! :slight_smile:

use the search (power) function, luke
one first stop should be this:
(including there is a nice pdf … and scripts)

and there are other (long) threads about blender-2.55 scripting,
with lots of examples and lots what changed during the blender-2.5x development.
