Installing PySide to Blender
PySide is a Python module that extends the capabilities of graphical user interface (UI) development. The license allows its use in both open and closed and commercial projects. The PySide module is not included in the basic Blender distribution, but it is not difficult to install it manually.

Getting the active property value in Blender using context
To get the current active object in a Blender scene, we usually use the context and its context.object (or context.active_object) property. Similarly, when working with the interface, we can access the context to get the currently active property – the value of the field in the Blender UI over which we hover the cursor or on which we clicked with the mouse. The context.property value is used for this.

Quickly renaming data blocks to match object names in Blender
When we assign or change the name of an object in Blender, we work at the object level. However, all objects also have a data block – a pointer to the actual object data, which also have names. The name of the data block can be seen by clicking on the corner arrow to the left of the object name in the outliner.

Assigning real indices to vertices created in bmesh
When we work with the bmesh object through the Blender Python API to create new geometry, all created vertices receive an index equal to -1. Although we can fully interact and control the created vertices, the lack of a numbered index can make it somewhat difficult to perceive the geometry and debug the code.

Blocking the UV elements from moving beyond the UV area boundaries
In most cases, UV elements (vertices, edges, faces, islands) can be freely moved anywhere in the UV Edit area. However, sometimes it is undesirable to move the UV beyond the boundaries of the base UV borders, for example, to ensure that the UV does not “move away” when baking it into atlases.
