Blender script help

[radiant]

Hello guys,

For my up coming IT assignment. I want to make a script where i can:

Summon a cube
Control the postion x,y,z
control the rotation x,y,z
control the scale x,y,z
And do a short array going up to 5 with a space inbetween each one on the right x axis.

So in the final form:

Shift A - Mesh - IT assignment
A cube shows up
I can mess with the parameters.

I have spoken to a few python gurus here and there but im totally lost.
I want to learn something from this and not have someone to do it for me. Maybe one can make the position x,y,z and then i can add the scale and rotation, the array on the other hand will be a nightmare.

thanks radiant

What is the purpose of this assignment? What tools you must (or must not) use for it?

IMO, your best bet is using OpenGL. For Python bindings start here.
NeHe has lot's of cool tutorials written and documented in C++, but ported to a bunch of other languages (at the bottom of each tut).

It is a free choice subject. It must involve coding. And should be interactive.
I chose blender and python because its something i know and something that can be fun, interactive and also have alot of coding

Sorry, I totally overlooked "Blender" in the title.

Then, the best place for help is python sub-forum on blenderartists
