Copy a texture from BlendDataTextures via Python

Question

How to copy a texture from bpy.data.textures

# Assuming it has a texture in bpy.data.textures

textures = bpy.data.textures
new_texture = textures[0].copy()
name = textures.new("", new_texture.type).name
textures[name] = new_texture

and it raise error

TypeError: bpy_prop_collection[key]: invalid key, must be a string or an int, not str

Is there a way to duplicate that texture, or need to set all the attributes to the new texture?

Answer 1

The line textures[0].copy() already creates a duplicate and pushes it into bpy.data.textures

textures = bpy.data.textures
t = textures[0].copy()
t.name = "new-texture-duplicate" # if you want to rename it
print(t.name)
