A quick list of helpful things to know before starting:
- Blender uses Python 3.x; some online documentation still assumes version 2.x.
- The interactive console is great for testing one-liners.
It also has autocompletion so you can inspect the API quickly.
- Button tooltips show Python attributes and operator names.
- The context menu of buttons directly links to this API documentation.
- More operator examples can be found in the text editor's template menu.
- Enable :ref:`Developer Extra <blender_manual:prefs-interface-dev-extras`
and :ref:`Python Tooltips <blender_manual:prefs-interface-tooltips-python>`.
- The :ref:`Python Console <blender_manual:bpy.types.SpaceConsole>`
is great for testing one-liners; it has autocompletion so you can inspect the API quickly.
- Button tooltips show Python attributes and operator names (when enabled see above).
- The context menu of buttons directly links to this API documentation (when enabled see above).
- Many python examples can be found in the text editor's template menu.
- To examine further scripts distributed with Blender, see:
- ``scripts/startup/bl_ui`` for the user interface.
