One of the idiosyncrasies of using Python with Softimage is that you need to import the Softimage constants (including enums) typelib as a custom Python module, then refer to each constant (or enum) as a member of the constants module. This example demonstrates how to use constants in a Python script:
# Import the Softimage constants module from win32com.client import constants root = Application.ActiveSceneRoot kids = root.Children # Then prefix the placeholder word constants to the Softimage constant or enum nulls = kids.Filter( "", constants.siNullPrimitiveFamily ) for n in nulls : Application.LogMessage( n, constants.siComment ) # The above snippet returns: #Camera_Root
If you dislike typing, you can use a small keyword or letter as a reference to the constants instead:
from win32com.client import constants as c #...<snip>... Application.LogMessage( n, c.siComment )
