maxxxmodelz, I should clarify - Poser 5 Python on Mac does not support Tkinter which is invariably used by the PC creators of Python scripts to implement their GUI. If all the user interface of a script needs to do is select a file or enter a bit of text or answer a yes/no type question, all of those can be done in Mac Python without resorting to Tkinter, it just takes more effort than most PC Python creators without access to a Mac for testing are willing/able to expend (absolutely no offence or flame war ignition intended). I've spent a fair bit of time recently, poking under the hood of Poser 5 Python on the Mac, trying to find GUI workarounds for some of the most popular commercial, PC only Python scripts. I have not given up hope that some external link to another Mac Tkinter enabled Python can be made to interface Poser with some of the scripts that Mac users are hanging out for. I don't think I can hold my breath until P6 comes out...
Verbosity: Profusely promulgating Graham's number epics of complete and utter verbiage by the metric monkey barrel.
