Re: [Bf-committers] importing bl_info
With bl_info - you probably want to load it without running any blender code (importing bpy for eg). check on addon_utils.py, fake_module(). This returns an empty module with only bl_info attribute attached. Originally we imported the addon but now it uses pythons 'ast' module to get the dict without running the code.

Regards Yousef Harfoush ba...@msn.com Wouldn't say that - IMHO using AST is clean enough, checked your code and while its doing roughly the same thing by scanning for bl_info, but its using eval() which means someone could create a malicious bl_info that runs code on your system. You can avoid scanning for bl_info with ast, just load the python file data and extract the dict (without execution), when fake_module(..., speedy=False), this is what happens, it just turned out to be faster to only parse the file header. ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
