@dbat@mastodon.gamedev.placeIs it possible to make a geo-node in Python?
i.e. I want to make a node that calls a python function to do stuff.
@dbat AFAIK yes, but not without recompiling blender.

@betalars oof!
@dbat This is apparently something that won't ever be supported by the devs. There is a standing policy to not ever allow arbitrary Python code to automatically be executed. NodeBooster is doing some neat stuff with custom geometry nodes and has some basic Python access.
@obsurveyor Wow, that project looks great. Will peek.
But, yeah, I don't understand that Blender standpoint at all. I mean, it's already a Python-based programme.
If a geo-node called some Python, it could just detect that and tie it into a the permission system that's already there! "Do you want to enable scripts?" or whatever it is.
I guess there's a long history and reason for the policy, but it seems harsh.
Thanks!
@dbat I think the idea is that eventually Geometry Nodes will have access to everything that Python does, so you wouldn't need Python in the first place. However, that's a long way off and your solution seems better for the short term.
@obsurveyor It's v weird, but I defer to experience.
