@ -228,13 +228,16 @@ Note that the context is read-only.
These values cannot be modified directly,
though they may be changed by running API functions or by using the data API.
So ``bpy.context.object = obj`` will raise an error.
So ``bpy.context.active_object = obj`` will raise an error.
But ``bpy.context.scene.objects.active = obj`` will work as expected.
But the following will work as expected:
>>> obj = bpy.data.objects["Cube"]
>>> obj.select_set(state = True, view_layer = bpy.context.view_layer)
>>> bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = obj
The context attributes change depending on where they are accessed.
The 3D view has different context members than the console,
The 3D Viewport has different context members than the Python Console,
so take care when accessing context attributes that the user state is known.
See :mod:`bpy.context` API reference.
