How can add the selected yellow portion in particles menu to my script is to create different distributions.

After you add your sphere with bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_uv_sphere_add() the new sphere will be the active object which you can get through bpy.context.active_object, you can then add a particle modifier to it and adjust the settings which you can access through the particle modifier.

bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_uv_sphere_add(size = size, location = location)
obj = bpy.context.active_object

ps = obj.modifiers.new(name='particles',type='PARTICLE_SYSTEM')
pset = ps.particle_system.settings

pset.emit_from = 'FACE' # VERT FACE VOLUME
pset.use_emit_random = True
pset.use_even_distribution = True
pset.distribution = 'JIT' # JIT RAND GRID

To adjust other properties you can use the tooltips to find the property name to use -

example tooltip

And if you don't know what values can be used for enumerated options like distribution you can find them in blender's API documentation.

  • $\begingroup$ This question is about adjusting the particle settings using python, if your script now adds a particle system and adjusts the settings then this has been answered. If you want an explanation of what a setting or combination of settings do you should ask another question for that. $\endgroup$
