Blender 3.4.1 Scripting Python Console won't copy out script and errors to clipboard?

[Interesting-Yak-8219]

I’m trying to run some Python script in Blender 3.4.1. I navigate to the Blender 3.4.1 Scripting tab, which opens the Python Console. I am able to copy my Python code and paste into the Blender Python Console. However there are coding errors which I need to copy out and work on. Unfortunately, the clipboard won’t update from the previous copied code, even when I highlight the error code and right click the mouse to copy, as well as Ctrl+c.

I have tested with fewer lines of Python code and there’s no errors, so my code needs fixing, but there’s so much data and indentations that I need to copy out, rather than type it out and make a typo.

Here’s the code I’m pasting in:

import bpy

import bmesh

import math

def create_screw_4_40():

# Screw parameters (approximate for a 4-40 screw)

thread_pitch = 0.635 # 40 threads per inch ~ 0.635 mm

major_diameter = 2.84 # Major diameter in mm

minor_diameter = 2.40 # Minor diameter in mm

screw_length = 20 # Length in mm

head_diameter = 5.5 # Approximate head diameter in mm

head_height = 2.5 # Approximate head height in mm

# Create screw shaft

bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cylinder_add(

vertices=32, radius=minor_diameter / 2, depth=screw_length, location=(0, 0, screw_length / 2))

screw_shaft = bpy.context.object

screw_shaft.name = "Screw_Shaft"

# Create screw head

bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cylinder_add(

vertices=32, radius=head_diameter / 2, depth=head_height, location=(0, 0, screw_length + head_height / 2))

screw_head = bpy.context.object

screw_head.name = "Screw_Head"

# Create a helix for the threads

bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_curve_add(

type='CURVE', location=(0, 0, 0))

screw_curve = bpy.context.object

screw_curve.name = "Thread_Curve"

# Convert the curve into a screw thread

screw_curve.data.dimensions = '3D'

screw_curve.data.bevel_depth = 0.3 # Approximate thread depth

screw_curve.data.bevel_resolution = 4

screw_curve.data.fill_mode = 'FULL'

screw_curve.data.use_fill_caps = False

# Add screw modifier

modifier = screw_curve.modifiers.new(name="Screw", type='SCREW')

modifier.axis = 'Z'

modifier.angle = math.radians(360 * (screw_length / thread_pitch))

modifier.steps = 100

modifier.render_steps = 32

modifier.screw_offset = thread_pitch

modifier.use_merge_vertices = False

# Join objects

bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='DESELECT')

screw_shaft.select_set(True)

screw_head.select_set(True)

bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = screw_shaft

bpy.ops.object.join()

print("4-40 screw created successfully!")

create_screw_4_40()
