Thanks, this is going to be fixed in the next documentation release.

Hi @SteveJLV, the APPEND mode is not supported by the HyperFile.

The FILEOPEN enum is also used in BaseFile, which is the underlying class used by the HyperFile. BaseFile properly support Append mode, but extra code in the HyperFile prevent it to work correctly.
So far I don't see any workaround possible for you in Python, the only way would to first read the HyperFile and rewrite everything + the things that you want to Append (pretty inefficient).

I opened a bug report, to support APPEND within HyperFile.
I set this post to solved, and I added the tag ToFix t your topic, but don't worry we will keep you in touch when a fix will be available but we can't say when it will be available neither if it will be fixed.
Cheers,
Maxime.

Hello @SteveJLV,

the example has been fixed and both computations now will reflect the correct result. The fixed example will be included with an upcoming release of the Python SDK documentation.

@stevejlv I found a workaround: the value part in the value;string Cycle option list does not have to be 0,1,2 etc.
So I can give them the exact value as the string part (as long as they are int) and get the value I want the old fashioned way: [c4d.ID_USERDATA,1]

Hi @SteveJLV welcome in the plugincafe community,

I would like to point you to some rules:

Read Before Posting. Nothing wrong here, but just in case. Q&A New Functionality. I've setup your topic correctly.

As you already figured it out, you never assign a new value to the variable. In Python, everything is passed by value by default in 90% of the time.
Meaning when you do x = y will actually copy y to x, so afterward if you do x + 10 it will not affect y value.

If you have more questions, don't hesitate.
Cheers,
Maxime.
