|  |a|  | If the objects are created, in a second step further manipulations   |
|       | are necessary. The next question is: Which  objects are available    |
|       | or exists in a scene?                                                |

Instructions
============
:Tasks:

1. What is possible with lists? If in doubt, have a look at :ref:`Python basics: lists <lists>`
2. Create a script that executes the code from this station.
3. Add a new object to the scene and run the script again.


Show all objects
================
In an new Blender file, in a scene some objects are placed by default.
How to get a list of available objects is shown with the following script:

.. literalinclude:: files/object-list.py
   :language: python
   :emphasize-lines: 0


The modul *bpy.data* contains as structure *objects*. From this you can get a list of objects of the context, the scene. A for loop is used to print all objects:

**Result:**
::

  <bpy_struct, Object("Camera")>
  <bpy_struct, Object("Cube")>
  <bpy_struct, Object("Lamp")>

| You can imagine, what sort of objects are available in the scene.
