Handler Function doesn't update Text Object in 3d_View The script below uses a handler function to show the current frame on the Text_object (every 10 frames) in 3d_view.
Tried assigning current_frame to text object in 2 ways:
1.With context.object.data.body
2.Updating text from Edit mode with editmodetoggle()
Both , Frame and Scene are being updated with their respective handler functions.
However, in both cases the handler function is not entirely getting executed and the Text in 3d_view  doesn't update
How to resolve this?
# SCRIPT --&gt;  SHOW CURRENT FRAME (EVERY 10 FRAME'S) IN 3D_VIEW

import bpy 

scene = bpy.context.scene
obj_active = scene.objects.active
obj_ops = bpy.ops.object
font_ops = bpy.ops.font
handlers = bpy.app.handlers

frame_current = scene.frame_current
obj_active = bpy.data.objects[&quot;Text&quot;]


from bpy.app.handlers import persistent
@persistent
def frame_change(scene):
    frame_end = 200
    print(frame_current ,&quot; = script start&quot;)
    
#ATTEMPT 1---------------   UPDATE TEXT.DATA.BODY   --------------
    if frame_current &lt;= frame_end:
        if frame_current % 10 == 0 :    
            obj_active.data.body = str(frame_current)      
            print(frame_current ,&quot; = TEXT UPDATED&quot;)  #Function not getting executed
    print(frame_current ,&quot; = script end&quot;)     
 
                 
#ATTEMPT 2----------------     EDIT TEXT FROM EDIT MODE    ------------------

#            text_frame = str(frame_current)
#            font_ops.text_insert(text = text_frame)
#            obj_ops.editmode_toggle()

Tried @batFinger's script but Text doesn't render in 3d_View (even if script runs in console )


import bpy 
from bpy.app import handlers    
from bpy.app.handlers import persistent


@persistent
def frame_change(scene):
    frame_current = scene.frame_current
    frame_end = 200
    obj_active = scene.objects.get(&quot;Text&quot;)
    print(frame_current ,&quot; = script start&quot;)
    if obj_active is None:
        return # no font object named &quot;Text&quot;
    if frame_current &lt;= frame_end:
        if frame_current % 10 == 0 :    
            obj_active.data.body = str(frame_current)      
            print(frame_current ,&quot; = TEXT UPDATED&quot;) 
    print(frame_current ,&quot; = script end&quot;)     
 
def register():    
    handlers.frame_change_post.append(frame_change)
    
#ALSO TRIED  THE BELOW COMMAND'S BUT NO RESULT     
#    handlers.render_post.append(frame_change)
#    handlers.scene_update_post.append(frame_change)    
#    handlers.load_post.append(frame_change)
#    handlers.frame_change_pre.append(frame_change)

def unregister():  
    handlers.frame_change_post.remove(frame_change)
#    handlers.render_post.remove(frame_change)
#    handlers.scene_update_post.remove(frame_change)
#    handlers.load_post.remove(frame_change)
#    handlers.frame_change_pre.remove(frame_change)
    
if __name__ == &quot;__main__&quot;:
    register()
An issue of scope.
As mentioned in a prior answer.  Defining frame current outside the handler sets it to what the current frame was when question script above is run and the handler is registered.
If you want current frame when the handler is run
def frame_change(scene):
    frame_end = 200
    frame_current = scene.frame_current
    print(frame_current ,&quot; = script start&quot;)

secondly recommend don't scope an object outside the handler, instead within the handler
ob = scene.objects.get(&quot;Text&quot;)
if ob:
    # it exists do something to it.

Also don't mix context with handlers. Every chance it will not work as expected, especially when rendering.

Handler-script updates in viewport but not in render
This should work in 2.7
Notice for 2.7x use frame change pre, for 2.9 use frame change post.
Notice the use of the div operator
int(frame_current) // 10

to set on each frame, otherwise will not set properly until a 10th frame using the modulus == 0 operator.
