Is this limited to scripting game logic at the moment? #1
Description
Excited by the prospect of using Python to automate actions in the editor like moving files around, assigning materials, importing meshes, querying asset data, and communicating with external python tools. I'm wondering if any of this is possible with the current state of this plug-in. Using python in conjunction with blueprints sounds like a great augmentation, but the most potential I see here is making up for Unreal4's lack of a more general scripting interface.
Really awesome work btw! I'll be watching this.

i close the issue since from now on editor scripting is a core feature

Thanks for the Update! I've been experimenting with the plugin over the past two weeks and I have to say it's really great being able to use Python in the engine. I was actually able use python's xml-rpc module to communicate with the engine from another python console.
I don't know if this is possible yet, but have you by any chance attempted to perform any of the Asset Type Actions (re-importing, assigning skeletons, importing LODs, etc) to uAssets in the Content Browser? Probably too early for me to be trying any of this, but I just thought I'd ask before continuing and getting stuck.

I am about to push an update with an asset importer. this should be another step forward :)
