Save UV Face Layout Script Crashes Blender

Coding Python Support
#1

I hope this is in the right section of the forum. I am on Ubuntu 7.10 with Blender 2.45 Python 2.5. Whenever I unwrap an object and then go to the UV/Image Editor and then UVs > Scripts > Save UV Face Layout and then hit OK on the prompt that comes up, Blender crashes. This script has worked for me before, but I have only now tried it with this version of Ubuntu and this version of Blender. This is what I get in the console afterwards:

guessing ‘blender’ == ‘/usr/bin/blender’
Compiled with Python version 2.5.1.
Checking for installed Python… got it!

I do not really know what all this means or what to do with it. Can anybody help me?

#2

We’ve got the same problem and at the same OS (Ubuntu 7.10). Please look at my thread and you can find my workaround with that.:eyebrowlift:

#3

dopski: Thanks for the reply and pointing me to your thread. I am disappointed that the solution is to revert to Python 2.4.

Hopefully there will be some other solution since I like to use the most up-to-date version of Blender and Python, but I do not have to have it that way. Any more help would still be appreciated.
