MaterialEditor.py

[bernd]

What is the best way to start the MaterialEditor? Is it possible from inside FreeCAD or only from outside directly by pyhton?

If I try it from outside FreeCAD in a terminal by

Code: Select all

$ python MaterialEditor.py

it gives No mudule named FreeCAD. Sure the very first line is "import FreeCAD"

A path could be added by

Code: Select all

import sys
sys.path.append('the_path_to_FeeCAD_module')

Which path do I need to add for the python module FreeCAD for ubuntu ppa?

Found it myself , inside FreeCAD

Code: Select all

import MaterialEditor
MaterialEditor.openEditor()

BTW (may be as a hint fo myself):
on my self compiled Debian to import FreeCAD inside python the path to lib is needed

Code: Select all

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append('/home/hugo/Documents/projekte--ifc/freecad/development/snapshot/free-cad-code/build/lib')
>>> import FreeCAD
FreeCAD 0.15, Libs: 0.15R4107 (Git)
