Raven, P5 works just fine on MacOSX.2.8. Running it myself. I've had some problems with runtime management but finally hit a solution that made loading simple and quick and for the last two months very stable. As for python scripts, not to disagree with Svdl, but I've managed to get some things partially working. Its not a closed door and my "guess" is that it won't be in P6. CL knows about the problems and imho they are going to do their best to fix the problem. My advice is to dive into P5-P6, the possibilities are most interesting! -jay
