open_blend.py was Japanized?

Manda · May 21, 2007, 7:42am

Hi,

I modified a script, load_blend.py.
Already you know , it is a file chooser script that pops windows dialogue.

This script has a problem when it encode filepath.
I use

sys.stdout.encoding

as encoding , but I should use

sys.getfilesystemencoding()

in this case,I think.

I tested follow three pattern…
(1):sys.getdefaultencoding() - x(utf-8) not exitst
(2):sys.stdout.encoding - o(cp932)
(3):sys.getfilesystemencoding() - ?(mcbs) critical error

My environment:
OS : Windows 2000(JP)
blender: Ver. 2.44
python: Ver. 2.5

import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8")

in blender 2.44 ,it can display Unicode characters on File Window.
but it is…

Hi MandaSan, i’m afraid but i think i’m not the only one who does not get the point. What about posting a blend?

Manda · May 21, 2007, 4:04pm

Hi 3D-Penguin san,

sorry for my poor english.

I’ts not about posting a .blend file.
This issue about loading blendfile to blender.exe (using python) when filename (or filepath) includes Japanese character,like this;

C:\dir\パス\ぶれんだあ.blend

I want to get this filepath to use Tk’s(windows) file dialog,and load the file to blender.exe.

This code is Ok;

import sys
import Blender.sys as Bsys

f="C:\dir\path\blender.blend"
Bsys.Blender.Load(f)

but this code can’t find filepath

f=u"C:\dir\パス\ぶれんだあ.blend"
Bsys.Blender.Load(f)

I modify to reading a .blend file that it has Japanese name,
it requiers convert from unicode encoding to system encoding.

I try first, it coud’t find a path;

f = u"C:\dir\パス\ぶれんだあ.blend"
g = f.encode(sys.getdefaultencoding())	# encodings unicode -&gt; (utf-8)
Bsys.Blender.Load(g)

Second, I caught a critical error ;

f = u"C:\dir\パス\ぶれんだあ.blend"
g = f.encode(sys.getfilesystemencoding())	# encodings unicode -&gt; (mcbs)
Bsys.Blender.Load(g)

Finally, I could ;

f = u"C:\dir\パス\ぶれんだあ.blend"
g = f.encode(sys.stdout.encoding)	# encodings unicode -&gt; (cp932)
Bsys.Blender.Load(g)

what’s the difference?

I use windows200 (JP).

thanks,

I think this script opens blend files out of exe files except it can now open Japanese files too. Am I right?

Manda · May 22, 2007, 6:36am

Hi C-106 Delta san,
thank for your reply.

Probably yes… ah, I forgot to write about that…

Here is two screenshot, do you think about?
(Most of you , this may not big deal.)

With tk

File window x2

thanks,

C-106_Delta · May 22, 2007, 5:02pm

I think the computer running the script may need both English and Japanese text in order work correctly but it is still very helpful. Thank.

I was looking the script over again and I don’t think it hacks the file, it only converts it from Japanese to English, very cool.

Manda · May 25, 2007, 11:50pm

Hi,

Now I can read/write .blend file via Tkinter
bl2tkaccess.zip

thanks,

plec · October 26, 2008, 8:52pm

Bump.
Hey does anyone know where I can fidn the original version of this script(englis version hopefully)?

Meta-Androcto · October 26, 2008, 11:09pm

plec, I have all the scripts…
check the system toolkit on the wiki (in my sig) for a working version.

Manda.
the easy way around this should be:
Add:

# -*- coding:Shift_JIS -*-

below

#!BPY

This should fix your problem.

Edit: if it appears again due to changes in the API.

plec · October 26, 2008, 11:27pm

Meta-Androcto

thanks I got the scripts. However. how do you use dialog script?

Meta-Androcto · October 26, 2008, 11:35pm

hi, Windows Dialog Pack:
there are 3 scripts included in the System Bundle.
open_blend_248.py
open_image_248.py
open_text_248.py.
Place these in afolder called Py_system in .blender/scripts.
then run them from the Scripts System menu in Blender.

Note: These scripts need a full Python install to work.
Also they are for Windows xp os only. not tested with vista.

.

plec · October 26, 2008, 11:44pm

It was giving me an error that is why I asked about it. I am under xp64 and here is the message

jesterKing · October 26, 2008, 11:52pm

That is a problem with tkinter module, probably not ported to 64bit Windows. Check google for the many errors that are related to that - you’d need a properly compiled module, but I’ve no idea how to get that (other than maybe 64bit python install?)

plec · October 26, 2008, 11:55pm

jesterKing, that would make sense. Thanks for shedding some light on this.

Manda · October 29, 2008, 5:00pm

Thanks for your reply to my old post :).

but i think ,about their encoding ,UTF-8 is better than Shift_JIS

# あああ

if this script file’s encoding is Shift_JIS,you may cought an error, you sould specify,

# -*- coding:Shift_JIS -*-
# あああ

but UTF-8 (encoded), you can run even if you forgot to add “# -- coding:UTF-8 --”

by the way, I think blender need some improvement for localization.

for my environment, i cought many time an encoding error with commented line with French when run the script:(
text window in blender cannot display non-ascii character(most of Kanji ,Hiragana…) correctly,even if “International Fonts” is on.
and dosplay on the file window ,too:(
sorry,it is off-topic…
