QtPythonConsole-Blender-add-on

a Blender add-on wrapper for QtPythonConsole, a simple qt script editor & console.

This wrapper exposes the console as an addon. You can start it from the menu: window/qt console There's a dependency on Qt (I used PySide2 for testing)

Installation

Plugget installation

• install plugget
• run this code in the blender script editor:

import plugget.commands
plugget.commands.install("QtPythonConsole")

Manual installation

• copy the python file to your addons folder.
• install QtPythonConsole
--- download all files from repo
--- put them in a folder named `QtPythonConsole`
--- copy the folder to your Blender addons/modules folder
• pip install a qt python module to your blender modules folder e.g. PySide2 or PyQt5

Support

• Bugs & feature requests for the original console go here: QtPythonConsole issues (likely unsupported)
• Packaging & Blender add-on support here: QtPythonConsole-Blender-add-on issues

Purpose

This repo was made to test several types of dependencies, as a demo for plugget. (See the QtPythonConsole plugget package)

• a Python module in a repo: QtPythonConsole
• a Blender addon in a repo: bqt
  • bqt has it's own dependency: Python pip install: PySide2

TODO:

• handle dependencies smarter
  • should work without bqt, with just PySide2 or PyQt5 if you handle the QT yourself.
