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.

Subject: Problems with Daz's Mat Manager Python Script

I sure hope you can help me since I've written to everyone else in the world and no one knows the answer. I just bought the Mat Manager at DAZ and have loaded up the script according to instructions, reinitialized it, etc. I've loaded a Mil figure into the window and selected it. When I try to run the script, I get the following window. Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 10, in ? ImportError: No module named dz_mm I'm not quite sure what to do to use this software. The Help instructions aren't very helpful. I'm using Poser 5 on a Macintosh G4, OSX 10.2.8. Can someone help? Thanks in advance, Denny

I don't have a Mac, but I gather OSX 10 is sufficiently Unix like that I can probably help.

First step.
Is there a file or files whose name(s) begins with dz_mm under the directory tree where you installed it or under Runtime/Python ?
If yes, then please list them and their locations.
If not, then only DAZ is going to be able to help.

Hi nruddock--I found a dz_mm.pyc under the rsc directory for Poser 5 (Runtime/Python/DAZ/MATManager/rsc/p5) Hope this provides some clues. Thanks! Denny

Good start.
It seems that the problem is related to the Tkinter module that Python uses (see the DAZ forums).
This link may help How do I install Tkinter? How do I get IDLE to work?"
An additional complication is that you almost certainly need to get versions of the necessary things that match the Python that Poser was compiled against (which was 2.2.x, x >= 1 for P5 on Windows).
This is definitely geeting into territory where I don't have enough specific knowledge to really help, so you'll need to use the MacPython resources for detailed stuff.

This thread Python on OSX has some ifio that may be useful when asking questions.

That should have been "getting" not "geeting".
I won't get to check for messages again before DAZ opens today (seems like they'll have a few similar questions to deal with), so you may get an answer from their tech support before I see any reply.

Thanks, nruddock. I have to admit, all this is way beyond me. I hope DAZ can get me an easy fix. This is the first time I've tried a Python script, so I know zero about the process. Denny
