bpy_extras.io_utils.orientation_helper(*axis_forward='Y'*, *axis_up='Z'*)
:   A decorator for import/export classes, generating properties needed by the axis conversion system and IO helpers,
    with specified default values (axes).

bpy_extras.io_utils.axis_conversion(*from_forward='Y'*, *from_up='Z'*, *to_forward='Y'*, *to_up='Z'*)
:   Each argument is an axis in [‘X’, ‘Y’, ‘Z’, ‘-X’, ‘-Y’, ‘-Z’]
    where the first 2 are a source and the second 2 are the target.
    :rtype: [`mathutils.Matrix`](mathutils.html#mathutils.Matrix "mathutils.Matrix")

bpy_extras.io_utils.axis_conversion_ensure(*operator*, *forward_attr*, *up_attr*)
:   Function to ensure an operator has valid axis conversion settings, intended
    to be used from [`bpy.types.Operator.check`](bpy.types.Operator.html#bpy.types.Operator.check "bpy.types.Operator.check").

    Parameters:
    :   - **operator** ([`bpy.types.Operator`](bpy.types.Operator.html#bpy.types.Operator "bpy.types.Operator")) – the operator to access axis attributes from.
        - **forward_attr** (*str*) – attribute storing the forward axis
        - **up_attr** (*str*) – attribute storing the up axis

    Returns:
    :   True if the value was modified.

    Return type:
    :   bool

bpy_extras.io_utils.create_derived_objects(*depsgraph*, *objects*)
:   This function takes a sequence of objects, returning their instances.

    Parameters:
    :   - **depsgraph** ([`bpy.types.Depsgraph`](bpy.types.Depsgraph.html#bpy.types.Depsgraph "bpy.types.Depsgraph")) – The evaluated depsgraph.
        - **objects** (Sequence[[`bpy.types.Object`](bpy.types.Object.html#bpy.types.Object "bpy.types.Object")]) – A sequencer of objects.

    Returns:
    :   A dictionary where each key is an object from `objects`,
        values are lists of (object, matrix) tuples representing instances.

    Return type:
    :   dict[[`bpy.types.Object`](bpy.types.Object.html#bpy.types.Object "bpy.types.Object"), list[tuple[[`bpy.types.Object`](bpy.types.Object.html#bpy.types.Object "bpy.types.Object"), [`mathutils.Matrix`](mathutils.html#mathutils.Matrix "mathutils.Matrix")]]]

bpy_extras.io_utils.poll_file_object_drop(*context*)
:   A default implementation for FileHandler poll_drop methods. Allows for both the 3D Viewport and
    the Outliner (in ViewLayer display mode) to be targets for file drag and drop.

bpy_extras.io_utils.unpack_list(*list_of_tuples*)

bpy_extras.io_utils.unpack_face_list(*list_of_tuples*)

bpy_extras.io_utils.path_reference(*filepath*, *base_src*, *base_dst*, *mode='AUTO'*, *copy_subdir=''*, *copy_set=None*, *library=None*)
:   Return a filepath relative to a destination directory, for use with
    exporters.

    Parameters:
    :   - **filepath** (*str*) – the file path to return,
          supporting blenders relative ‘//’ prefix.
        - **base_src** (*str*) – the directory the *filepath* is relative too
          (normally the blend file).
        - **base_dst** (*str*) – the directory the *filepath* will be referenced from
          (normally the export path).
        - **mode** (*str*) – the method used get the path in
          [‘AUTO’, ‘ABSOLUTE’, ‘RELATIVE’, ‘MATCH’, ‘STRIP’, ‘COPY’]
        - **copy_subdir** (*str*) – the subdirectory of *base_dst* to use when mode=’COPY’.
        - **copy_set** (*set**[**tuple**[**str**,* *str**]**]*) – collect from/to pairs when mode=’COPY’,
          pass to *path_reference_copy* when exporting is done.
        - **library** ([`bpy.types.Library`](bpy.types.Library.html#bpy.types.Library "bpy.types.Library") | None) – The library this path is relative to.

    Returns:
    :   the new filepath.

    Return type:
    :   str

bpy_extras.io_utils.path_reference_copy(*copy_set*, *report=<built-in function print>*)
:   Execute copying files of path_reference

    Parameters:
    :   - **copy_set** (*set**[**tuple**[**str**,* *str**]**]*) – set of (from, to) pairs to copy.
        - **report** (*Callable**[**[**str**]**,* *None**]*) – function used for reporting warnings, takes a string argument.

bpy_extras.io_utils.unique_name(*key*, *name*, *name_dict*, *name_max=-1*, *clean_func=None*, *sep='.'*)
:   Helper function for storing unique names which may have special characters
    stripped and restricted to a maximum length.

    Parameters:
    :   - **key** (*Any*) – Unique item this name belongs to, name_dict[key] will be reused
          when available.
          This can be the object, mesh, material, etc instance itself.
          Any hashable object associated with the *name*.
        - **name** (*str*) – The name used to create a unique value in *name_dict*.
        - **name_dict** (*dict*) – This is used to cache namespace to ensure no collisions
          occur, this should be an empty dict initially and only modified by this
          function.
        - **clean_func** (*function*) – Function to call on *name* before creating a unique value.
        - **sep** (*str*) – Separator to use when between the name and a number when a
          duplicate name is found.
