Creating a valid context for uv editing

As a more “clean” example of the issue here is some more “code” that I’m not quite sure how to properly execute to test… but it shows the intent/workflow>

import bpy
import queue
from bpy.app.handlers import persistent
import threading




### Thread save queue for job list to run
execution_queue = queue.Queue()


### Test job
def makeUV():
    bpy.ops.uv.smart_project()




### Get Job & run it
def executeInternalFastCommands():
    while execution_queue.empty():
        f = execution_queue.get()
        f()# run all functions from queue
    pass


### Make sure we call it every 0.05 seconds
def runInternal():
    executeInternalFastCommands()
    return 0.05



### Register timmer/function caller
@persistent
def load_handler(dummy):
    bpy.app.timers.register(runInternal)



def register():
    bpy.app.handlers.load_post.append(load_handler)
    
    
    
    
### Send job from Thread
def createTestActionInThread():
    execution_queue.put(makeUV) # add job to queue that blender will run in its main thread


### Start thread and ask it to create a job for us
def testAction():
    thread = threading.Thread(target=createTestActionInThread, name='Daemon')
    thread.daemon = True
    thread.start()
    

if __name__ == "__main__":
    register()
    testAction()
