Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Sep 18 2:50 am)

We now have a ProPack Section in the Poser FreeStuff.
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.

Hi,

I'm testing a script I'm writing and I find that if I have to make changes in modules I'm loading into the main script, the changes don't seem to be picked up unless I quit and restart Poser. I've tried deleting the .pyc files, but no luck. There must be a way to get the changes detected without quitting/restarting but I haven't found the answer yet (and I've been crawling through the archives for this forum a bit). Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks.

There used to be a Reinitialize Python under File, but the last version of poser it was available is 7.

It is one of the features they removed I guess. Like save as pzz without using compression in the preferences.

Yes you'll need to restart Poser.

The reinitialize Python option was removed because in Poser 8 and later, elements of the Poser GUI are in fact wxPython based. You would effectively be reinitializing Poser.

there is a reload() or inp functions to reload an imported module.  check the manual to see if it applies to your code.

I couldn't find this in the poser python manual (poser pro 2010) - is it a regular python library call?

Do you have any idea if it's part of Poser Pro 2010's API? I can't find either in the documentation.

 

Thanks everyone for the replies.

Those are regular python , that is Not part of the poser methods.

look at www.python.org  for the manuals. You want the Library Referance section.

imp (import) and reload are in the index.  

 

I dont know if they apply to what you are doing.

I think reload may be the thing for my debugging purposes. I'll give that a try.

 

Thanks.
