Parameters : start ( str | bytes ) – Relative to this path, when not set the current filename is used. library ( bpy.types.Library ) – The library this path is from. This is only included for convenience, when the library is not None its path replaces start . Returns : The absolute path. Return type : str bpy.path. basename ( path ) ¶ Equivalent to os.path.basename , but skips a “//” prefix. Use for Windows compatibility. Returns : The base name of the given path. Return type : str bpy.path. clean_name ( name , * , replace = '_' ) ¶ Returns a name with characters replaced that may cause problems under various circumstances, such as writing to a file. All characters besides A-Z/a-z, 0-9 are replaced with “_” or the replace argument if defined. Parameters : name ( str | bytes ) – The path name. replace ( str ) – The replacement for non-valid characters. Returns : The cleaned name. Return type : str bpy.path. display_name ( name , * , has_ext = True , title_case = True ) ¶ Creates a display string from name to be used menus and the user interface. Intended for use with filenames and module names. Parameters : name ( str ) – The name to be used for displaying the user interface. has_ext ( bool ) – Remove file extension from name. title_case ( bool ) – Convert lowercase names to title case. Returns : The display string. Return type : str bpy.path. display_name_to_filepath ( name ) ¶ Performs the reverse of display_name using literal versions of characters which aren’t supported in a filepath. Parameters : name ( str ) – The display name to convert. Returns : The file path. Return type : str bpy.path. display_name_from_filepath ( name ) ¶ Returns the path stripped of directory and extension, ensured to be utf8 compatible. Parameters : name ( str ) – The file path to convert. Returns : The display name. Return type : str bpy.path. ensure_ext ( filepath , ext , * , case_sensitive = False ) ¶ Return the path with the extension added if it is not already set. Parameters : filepath ( str ) – The file path. ext ( str ) – The extension to check for, can be a compound extension. Should start with a dot, such as .blend or .tar.gz . case_sensitive ( bool ) – Check for matching case when comparing extensions. Returns : The file path with the given extension. Return type : str bpy.path. is_subdir ( path , directory ) ¶ Returns true if path in a subdirectory of directory . Both paths must be absolute. Parameters : path ( str | bytes ) – An absolute path. Returns : Whether or not the path is a subdirectory. Return type : bool bpy.path. module_names ( path , * , recursive = False , package = '' ) ¶ Return a list of modules which can be imported from path . Parameters : path ( str ) – a directory to scan. recursive ( bool ) – Also return submodule names for packages. package ( str ) – Optional string, used as the prefix for module names (without the trailing “.”). Returns : a list of string pairs (module_name, module_file). Return type : list[tuple[str, str]] bpy.path. native_pathsep ( path ) ¶ Replace the path separator with the systems native os.sep . Parameters : path ( str ) – The path to replace. Returns : The path with system native separators. Return type : str bpy.path. reduce_dirs ( dirs ) ¶ Given a sequence of directories, remove duplicates and any directories nested in one of the other paths. (Useful for recursive path searching). Parameters : dirs ( Sequence [ str ] ) – Sequence of directory paths. Returns : A unique list of paths. Return type : list[str] bpy.path. relpath ( path , * , start = None ) ¶ Returns the path relative to the current blend file using the “//” prefix. Parameters : path ( str | bytes ) – An absolute path. start ( str | bytes ) – Relative to this path, when not set the current filename is used. Returns : The relative path. Return type : str bpy.path. resolve_ncase ( path ) ¶ Resolve a case insensitive path on a case sensitive system, returning a string with the path if found else return the original path. Parameters : path ( str ) – The path name to resolve. Returns : The resolved path. Return type : str Next Application Data (bpy.app) Previous bpy.utils submodule (bpy.utils.units) Copyright &#169; Ble
