[Bf-python] Listing all data blocks in another .blend file

[Arnaud Couturier]

Hello,
I'm new to this list, so please forgive my mistakes if I use it incorrectly
^^'

I need to link all the groups that follow a naming convention, from another
blend file. And without having to know all of them in advance, so I can
add/update/remove groups in the library blend file, without touching the
linking code logic.

Is it possible ?
I haven't found anything about this in the Python API.

I added a request on the wiki
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Requests/Python2.6
(bottom of the page)
I'm not sure if it's the right place...

Thank you in advance
Arnaud

I believe so, check out the docs:
http://www.blender.org/documentation/blender_python_api_2_71_0/bpy.types.BlendDataLibraries.html?highlight=library
specifically look at the line that starts with

# link all objects starting with 'A'

in the examples. I think that should be what you need (with your own
filtering code instead of just looking for that one letter)

Thank you very much for the quick and precise answer!

I tested it, and that is exactly what I need indeed.
Excellent.
I removed the useless feature request from the wiki.

Cheers :)
Arnaud
