But keep in mind Mason that once Python scripts get posted in large amounts the odds are some angry Anti-Renderosity type person could do a lot of damage fast upon a generally non-Python literate user base. I rely upon Norton or McAfee to post warnings about viruses, which otherwise I would never even have any idea existed. ZoneAlarm, etc. allow you you check your Firewall defenses. What STOPS some weasels slipping in some evil code to Non-Py types? It WILL HAPPEN. The Poser Community is ideal because most people are artist types, not programmers... I think a Poser Community Clearinghouse for TESTED and TRUSTED Python scripts would be a GREAT THING. I can tell you that I for one would ONLY use scripts that had some type of clearance like that. There is too much to lose in the way of models, software and time if there is a sudden round of venonmous snake-bites... Remember Pearl Harbor- it was on a quiet Sunday- when everyone was half asleep. When the bullets fly- its too late...
