Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Sep 18 2:50 am)
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: shutil Advisory
The most likely cause is that the destination file name contains an invalid character.
At least this is the only way I can get this error.
E.g.
import shutil<br></br><br></br>shutil.copyfile("I:/Temp/ro/test.txt", "I:/Temp/ro/test*1.txt")
On a Mac (or any *nix system) you'd get away with this, but not on Windows.
Further investigation reveals that the real problem is in the error checking of open_the_file in fileobject.c
The interpretation of the error number returned by Windows was corrected on April 8th 2002, in release 2.2.1
See -> Diff for change
I know the file name is valid--Poser would have barfed and died long before if it hadn't been. Thanks for the investigation, nruddock. I'm still not certain why some users have problems with this while others don't, or why this does not appear to be an issue for Poser 5 users (who also use Py 2.2). In any event, avoid shutil for P6 projects.

Avoid the shutil module when scripting for Poser 6. This module appears to be broken on a large number of installations.
