lock channels and move to layer blender scripting intro

There may be bugs in these but thought these short scripting examples might be helpful to new comers to blender scripting.

#simple script to lock rotations of selected objects

import bpy

#get selected objects
sel = bpy.context.selected_objects

#lock rotations
for obj in sel:
    for idx in [0,1,2]:
        obj.lock_rotation[idx] = True

#simple script to lock translations of selected objects

import bpy

#get selected objects
sel = bpy.context.selected_objects

#lock translations
for obj in sel:
    for idx in [0,1,2]:
        obj.lock_location[idx] = True

#simple script to lock scales

import bpy

#get selected objects
sel = bpy.context.selected_objects

#lock scale
for obj in sel:
    for idx in [0,1,2]:
        obj.lock_scale[idx] = True

####simple script to move all selected to given layer

import bpy

def moveSelectedToLayer(layerIndex = 1):
    """
    layerIndex 0-20
    """
    #try to accept only valid indexes
    if layerIndex not in range(20):
        print('requires layer in 0-20')
        return
        
    #get selected objects
    sel = bpy.context.selected_objects

    #move selected to given layer
    for obj in sel:
        #add object to given layer
        obj.layers[layerIndex] = True
        
        #need to remove it from all other layers
        for idx in [x for x in range(20) if x != layerIndex]:
            obj.layers[idx] = False
                
                
moveSelectedToLayer(1)
