Standard Python Action Template

This template gives the starting point for writing a render post-processing action. It resolves the path to the rendered images from the current configuration, loads the images and saves them as JPG.

In the module image-render-workspace-test there is a demo configuration that uses this post processing action. This can be found in the folder config/tpl/pyact-01. To use this configuration you must do the following:

1. Instantiate from the template via cathy install template std-action-python.

2. Install the created module in your python environment by changing to the newly created module folder and calling pip install . or pip install -e . if you want to develop the template further.

3. Have a look at the setup.cfg file of the create module. There is a definition catharsys.action. The part left of the equal sign in the definition is the action type id string, e.g. /catharsys/action/hello/world:1.0.

4. Use this action type id string in the launch.json of the pyact-01 configuration as sActionDTI value for the pyact action.

Now you can first launch the render actions and after that has finished launch the pyact action, which will call the newly created action module.
