Blender api vertex data

Coding Python Support

To say i don’t get the api yet would be and understatment, trying to grab a copy of an objects verts, so they can be manipulated and sent back to the object. I figured out how to transform.Translate() but how do you select a vert progammaticaly. Any help would be greatly appricated.

As an aside, is any one working on a book on scripting in blender 2.5+ with the new api. That is what i would like, i have a feeling the new api will make a lot of lowlevel data manipulation much more powerful if i can just figure out how to get the data.

Thanks!

Now how do you access the noise generator, now.
It used to look like this in 2.49:

from blender import utilities

utilities.noise(TYPE, OCTAVE, ETC.)

now hows it done?

thanks!
