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.

Python 3 is now officially announced and it apparently is healthy enough to survive eating Snarley's coding.

Quesiton: which additional libraries would you like to see included apart from what we have now in Python 2? (NumPy)

Personally I would like to see:

Did I miss anything?

I would just like pip to work so that I can install libraries as I need them.

@structure: Yes, and that, for my own development work.

My question was primarily on modules a script author can assume installed on any Poser12 install. I do not want having to ask users to play around with PIP before they can use my script.

If pip is installed and working, a script is able to load any required lib automatically with a few additional lines of code.

Just to have it said: Because Poser will come with Python 3.7, I'm done with Poser. I had all my scripts (mostly the non public ones used for business) rewritten to work with Python >= 3.8 for several good reasons. They won't work with 3.7 without changes.

I will start with a Poser/DAZ like interface for Blender soon (easier posing). Makes more sense for me.

... provided the computer is connected to the network and user has admin rights.

I can imagine Poser support will have questions about what can be a potential stability loophole.

A computer without the ability to connect to the internet isn't able to run Poser.

Python 3.8.0 came out a year ago and is rock stable. Current release from october 2020 is 3.9.

What's the feature of 3.8 you've used the most, @adp001? Walrus assignment, or f-strings? I can certainly understand the frustration of upgrading code to find out it's still not supported.
