Talk:Python scripting tutorial

Roy 043: thanks for the corrections and formatting!

The one thing I would request is that one does need to either have a document already open, or do doc = App.newDocument. Otherwise it can be quite mysterious to click the Execute button and have nothing happen.

The code I would suggest to cover both cases is:

doc = App.ActiveDocument if not doc: doc = App.newDocument

 * Hi Dan,


 * We almost never use these Talk pages. Whatever you write here will most likely not be noticed by other editors. it is better to use User_talk pages when you want to get in touch with another editor. The editor is then notified. Or write a PM in the forum.


 * What you are suggesting in terms of Python code does not make sense to me. You assume that a Python script will always interact with a document, but that need not be the case at all.


 * Example:




 * BTW: If you have not done so already, please have a look at WikiPages.
