If Python is not so good at being fast for a whole app, how is it that Blender exists? Hmmm?

My reference to Pythons is specific to Poser's implementation. Blender's data structures and Pythons bindings are different. What works in Blender doesn't necessarily translate to Poser. The level of detail of Poser's figures is also much higher than anything that I've seen exported from Blender to Lux. Orders of magnitude larger. My statement is from the realist point of view of having to wait an excessively, in my opinion, long time for the operation.

Python plugins can be pre-compiled - my tool matmatic is distributed that way. Nobody can see or muck with the script.

Good to know, I asked Smith Micro and they said no. If they don't know about this things how are people supposed to know?

And Python can have add-on modules written entirely in C, which can go very fast. Otherwise, we would not have the Numeric library for fast vector processing.

Again, my note was about a C/C++ API for Poser, not from Python. I asked SM about that and they said that it's not available. If you know something different I'm all interested.

Cheers.
