Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Sep 18 2:50 am)

We now have a ProPack Section in the Poser FreeStuff.
Check out the new Poser Python Wish List thread. If you have an idea for a script, jot it down and maybe someone can write it. If you're looking to write a script, check out this thread for useful suggestions.

Also, check out the official Python site for interpreters, sample code, applications, cool links and debuggers. This is THE central site for Python.

You can now attach text files to your posts to pass around scripts. Just attach the script as a txt file like you would a jpg or gif. Since the forum will use a random name for the file in the link, you should give instructions on what the file name should be and where to install it. Its a good idea to usually put that info right in the script file as well.

2 simple questions .. 1) What's the differents from a Python for PC and one for MAC ? 2) why a Python for PC don't work on a MAC or a MAC python don't work on a PC ? Many thx for your aid; Andygraph

  1. There are a few modules and options that aren't shared between Mac and PC Python, but, by and large, anything non-Tkinter script will work as well on either platform or on Unix as well. 2) Tkinter (Python's GUI [Graphical User Interface] module) does not function very well on Macs, and, by default, does not work at all for Mac PoserPython. PC PoserPython users can expect a little bit of funny behavior from Tkinter, but it largely works as expected. Another thing that might not work in exchange between the two programs are file paths. Windows uses / or to separate folders, but Macs use :. To remedy this situation, Python includes the os.path module which will format paths in your script according to the operating system it's being run on.

Sometimes scripts fail on the line feeds - IIRC the Windows version of Python does not like line feeds in Mac encoding.
