Blender 2.6: Select Object By Name Through Python

Answer :

bpy.data.objects['OBJECT'].select = True 

---

Selection data is contained within the individual objects. You can read and write them as shown. In a slightly more readable form:

object = bpy.data.objects['OBJECT'] object.select = True 

bpy.ops.object.select_name() has been replaced by bpy.ops.object.select_pattern() (around 2.62, I think?), which is a more powerful version (it can select an exact name, but also use patterns with wildcards, be case-insensitive, etc.):

bpy.ops.object.select_pattern(pattern="Cube") 

import bpy  def returnObjectByName (passedName= ""):     r = None     obs = bpy.data.objects     for ob in obs:         if ob.name == passedName:             r = ob     return r  obs = bpy.data.objects  bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='DESELECT')  for ob in obs:     print (ob.name)     myObj = returnObjectByName(ob.name)     if myObj != None:         print (dir(myObj))         myObj.selected = True         myObj.location[2] = 10         myObj.selected = False 

Not my code, not guaranteed to work.
