error calling fusionless.Comp() from command line

[LarsCawley]

I'm having a bit of trouble getting going from the command line inside Fusion 8.2_b2, Python2.7

import fusionless as fu
c = fu.Comp()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<nofile>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\fusionless-master\fusionless\core.py", line 62, in __new__
    "{0}".format(type(reference).__name__))
RuntimeError: No default reference for: NoneType

I'm not entirely sure what Fusion is doing internally, but an interesting thing is going on in the console.

If you type:

print comp
# Composition (0x000000007C4F5FA0) [App: 'Fusion' on 127.0.0.1, UUID: 2152baa2-674c-4785-8a07-61980942ea53]

It will work as if it has that variable available. But it's not in locals or globals.

print locals().get("comp", None)
# None
print globals().get("comp", None)
# None

The interactive console session acts as the __main__ module, like a regular python process. Even that doesn't have the variable by default:

import sys
print getattr(sys.modules["__main__"], "comp", None)
# None

Nevertheless the "fusion" variable is accessible, so I added a fallback to get the currently active comp from the fusion variable.

Note that it is actually possible to overwrite the "fusion" and "comp" variables in the console. So even though we're currently mostly relying on getting the variables from __main__ it's not a completely secure solution. Keeping this open for now to investigate options later.
