How to script boolean operation?

[TimAyres]

Greetings! I’m relatively new to Blender and completely new to Python. I’m trying to write a small script to perform a boolean operation on two meshes from the command line (no gui). Here’s what I want to accomplish:

• Import two meshes in obj format, i.e. the source mesh and target mesh
• Perform a boolean operation on the two meshes (e.g. difference to subtract target from source)
• export the modified mesh as obj

Any help is greatly appreciated!
