Cannot import bpy-types, hardcoded paths to your user folder

[tngreene]

Hi! I'm intersted in using bpy as a module without a lot of hassle, and so I found your project!

I tried downloading it as instructed and got this message (before Python crashed) when I tried to import it.

I think you have a build error somewhere. Possibly related to the fact that on my computer I don't have a tgubs folder. I'm on Windows 10, x64bit. Also, in my PATH I am using Blender 2.78 for development reasons. Maybe that had some issue as well?

Please see the following issue:

https://github.com/TylerGubala/blenderpy/issues/13

It has nothing to do with my users folder; those messages are generated at compile time, so when I build wheels those messages are still set to my user folder because I'm the one who built the module from sources.

You need to move the 2.79 folder in your Anaconda environment. This will be fixed in the next release.

Thanks for the response. As a hopefully useful note: I missed the "move 2.79 folder to Anaconda Env" step because I read Option 1 and thought "How It Works" was exclusively describing the process with Option 2.

[TylerGubala]

I'm in the process of resolving it to that in the future you potentially won't have to do that move step yourself.

I hope it's working for you now, and thanks for filing the issue! I will work towards making the documentation clearer.
