Hello, 

Please excuse me for asking this same question.

https://www.renderosity.com/forums/threads/2972673/export-by-python

If you know a solution please let me know...

As I wrote in "export-by-python", import the obj model from python, and  export the model from python  in obj format.

Then the size of the obj file created will be 0 bytes.

Just an import or just an export will succeed.

I don't know what is wrong. . .

If you have any advice, could you tell me.

Thank you.

I am not at my system now so I cannot check but it maybe your callback does never return TRUE.  

Best add  print statement in it that says something when it returns a TRUE.

Also equality '=='  is not the best way to compare strings. Better use 'in' :   if act.InternalName() in CB.InternalName(): 

Thank you for your reply.

When I checked the return value of Callback, it was not "True".

After checking, it seems that the cause was bad timing to create actList. (I was generating the actList before the import completed)

Also, thanks for pointing out about the "==".

Thanks to you, I was able to solve the problem.

Thank you for your kindness.

Also, thanks for pointing out about the "==".

 A word of warning:

Using "in" instead of "==" can quickly become a massive problem. Why?

"" in "any string" == True

That' s why.

An empty string is contained in any valid string.

---

Before anyone gets any ideas: This also applies to regular expressions. An empty string matches any other string.

---

If you absolutely want to use "in" instead of "==", then this is how:

string_A  =  "any"
string_B = "any string"

len(string_A) > 0 and string_A in string_B == True 

string_A = ""

len(string_A) > 0 and string_A in string_B == False

But.... if string_A is None then a Type Error is raised. But this also happens with a regular comparison with "==". So I leave it at that.

---

However, what I do from time to time is to use a function:

def str_eq(sa: str, sb: str) -> bool:
       return sa == sb or sa in sb if sa is not None and sb is not None and len(sa) > 0 else False

(Python 3)

The function first tries a standard comparison with "==". Only if this fails, a test with "in" is performed. In addition, the two variables passed (sa and sb) are tested for None.

---

Sorry for my late response.

I've found that you have to be careful when comparing empty strings.

I will refer to it when creating the script.

thank you very much.
