Hey team, Due to a few ASAP items that require my immediate attention, I need to be fully focused this week. Therefore, I will have to postpone our Coffee Hangout until next week. I apologize for the last minute update. I'm really looking forward to connecting with you all and catching up then!

I understand that it probably is standard growing pains between versions, so learning scripting should probably keep me working in blender 4.5. I was noticing a lot of commands in the bpy.ops line of commands like bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_ico_sphere_add() and bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_plane_add() and even things like editing a material's diffuse_color was returning "cannot modify blend data in this state (drawing/rendering)" All my attempts to be in the correct state have failed on those operations, when running the script in the text editor window. I haven't seen any recent chatter on this case after the version's release. So I was wondering, is there was any way to appease the error with a workflow change?

December is usually a quieter month for many of us, a bit more breathing room, a bit less chaos. Which makes it a perfect time to dust off those Blender Python ideas we've been putting off all year. @Gregory Tada Tada had a great suggestion: 👉 Let's make December a month-long challenge to make progress on a small Blender Python project you've been meaning to tackle. It doesn't have to be big. It doesn't have to be polished. It just has to be something you've wanted to try like a tool, an operator, a little automation, a viewport helper, updating your add-ons/scripts to run in Blender 5.0, anything! 🧰 How to Join If you have a project in mind that you want to work on during December, share it in the comments! Tell us what you want to build, fix, or explore. Even if it's just a rough idea. 🗓️ Throughout the Month We'll encourage each other. We'll share tips and help out. And by the end of December, everyone should have something cool to show or share, no matter how small. Let's end 2025 with momentum, and a fun little Python accomplishment. Looking forward to seeing what you all take on! 🚀

I don't know about any coding...can I start directly with Python? Or should I have to learn something first?
