Yeah !!! I did it !!! :D Apparently I was doing it wrong , by returning the message in doesNotUnderstand , this is why the next MNU was returned by Object instead of my parser class.
Say bye bye to ugly nil syntax , Ephestos now supports normal pharo messaging. This ugly thing EphParser bpy:nil data:nil objects:'[ "Cube" ]' location: '=(0.0,0.0,0.0)' . has turned to this EphCParser bpy ; data ; objects:'["Cube"]' location:'=(0.0,0.0,0.0)' ; e. or this EphCParser bpy data objects:'["Cube"]' location:'=(0.0,0.0,0.0)'; e. or you can use parentheses . You can send all keywords as single message as I do in the example or separate them with parentheses to different messages , it does not matter because the parser unites them into a single string anyway. Message e, formulates the python string and marks the end of pharo command. Means that now I offer full python support with no weird pharo syntax :) New parser is called EphCParser if you want to give it a try, I am still working on it to make sure it works well in all scenarios. this is an example of using python globals for making the code shorter EphCParser x:'=1.0' ; e. EphCParser cube:'=bpy.data.objects["Cube"]';e. EphCParser cube ; location:'=(x,0.0,0.0)' ; e. You may wonder , "why not use pharo variables instead ?" . Well you can do that too ;) cube := EphCParser bpy data objects:'["Cube"]'. cube location:'=(x,0.0,0.0)' ; e. I will try to test the new parser a bit more and I will work on 1) receiving data from Blender 2) python errors triggering the pharo debugger and 3) buffer together multiple lines of python code for complex stuff like class and function definition etc 4) support BGE .
