from what I've read, in regard to running python scripts outside poser 7, there are
various FUBARs involving leopard, but nothing concrete for tiger, which I've got.
e.g., the "pythonlauncher" app is causing leopard users some problems, including
something about causing terminal.app to fail.

unfortunately, the schemes to allow running python scripts from terminal involve the
usual endless series of package installers.  e.g. first ya gotta install one package, but
before that ya gotta install another package, and oops! we forgot to tell ya, ya gotta install
yet another unspecified number of packages before that :lol:

hence I daresay I'll continue to run the scripts only from inside poser 7.
