You make a mistake at 25:00.

You write : for key in GSOC:
if(GSOC[key]) is “Camera Tracker”:
print(person)

But you have to print the key so : print(key)

Do you have full DVD discussing Python for Blender like this?

Thanks/

HOW TO OPEN SYSTEM CONSOLE IN LINUX

Syntax for opening a system console in Linux (Bash) is as follows (from a terminal [command line]):

blender .blend_File_Location

The term .blend_File_Location should be replaced by the location of a .blend file and is an optional argument. If you include it, it will open the .blend file. If you don’t, it will open a fresh blender file. This should be the same for Mac OS as well, though I’m not sure cause I don’t use it.

Additionally, if the blender executable is _not_ in /usr/bin (or other similar location — this is a very common practice with blender), you may have to specify the location of the blender executable.

For instance if the executable is sitting on the desktop:

~/Desktop/blender .blend_File_Location

Where the tilde represents the user’s home directory and again .blend_File_Location is the location of a .blend file and is an optional argument.

It is as easy as any language to learn, specifically if you already know how to program. Don’t fear. :)

Python is a good language to learn beyond blender. Gimp uses it as well for instance.

I have a query with regards to scripting in the game engine: does it only use python or can other languages be used?

Writing code is very straight forward, but not always a straight forward process, seeing someone who knows their craft, change their mind and mess up is good to see. when i watch perfectly edited tutorials, it leaves out learning from other peoples mistakes. Please keep them coming Patrick and do not change a thing!!!!
