How to Fix "Blender Python Editor Not Displaying Script Output"

If the Blender Python Editor is not displaying script output, it could be caused by incorrect output settings, missing console logs, or issues with the script itself.

Here’s how you can resolve this issue: First, ensure that your script contains proper print statements to display output in the Blender Console.

Use Python’s print() function to output messages to the console, which can be helpful for debugging.

For example, you can add print(**Hello, Blender!**) in your script to check if output is being shown.

Next, check if the console is enabled in Blender.

To do this, go to Window > Toggle System Console to open the system console window.

If the console is not visible, Blender will not show any print statements or error messages.

Make sure that the console window is open while running your script.

If your script has errors or crashes, these will also be displayed in the console window.

If there’s no output in the console, even with print statements, check your script for syntax errors.

Missing or incorrect function definitions, invalid variable references, or misplaced parentheses could prevent your script from running.

You can check for syntax errors by looking at the console for any error messages related to your script.

Another possible issue is the use of Blender’s logging system.

Blender uses a logging system that can output messages in addition to the standard print statements.

If your script is using the bpy.ops API functions, they may generate log messages that are sent to Blender’s internal log rather than the console.

To see these messages, go to Window > Toggle System Console and check the log for any warnings or errors.

You can also use Blender’s bpy.context object to print specific log messages or debug information to the console.

For example, use bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active.name to print the active object’s name.

Finally, ensure that Blender’s Python environment is correctly configured.

If your Python environment is misconfigured, it might not allow output from your script.

You can check the Python version by typing import sys; print(sys.version) in the Python Console.

If Blender is using a different Python version than expected, try reinstalling Blender to reset the Python environment.

By following these steps, you should be able to see the output of your Python script in Blender’s Python Editor.
