I think I've posted this to every Poser 7 / Python thread ... but you guys keep starting new ones :)
OK .....
Yes Poser 7 uses a newer version of Python. Most PY files will run, some will require adjustment as noted above because a few of the old methods are replaced by newer ones.
All scripts using PYC files must be updated. If you use a script that calls for a PYC file you'll probably get an error saying that the "magic number is wrong". Most of my python scripts fall into this category.
Generally not a big deal. The script's author will need to recompile in Poser 7 and issue an update. I have pretty much got all mine done together with all related Poser 7 support files. I'm waiting for the initial Poser 7 release dust to settle then will be asking a few folks to double check them (probably Friday) ready for general release (probably Monday).
All my Poser 7 updates will be free.
