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

Subject: Starting the Mac OS finder with python
Uh. I encountered this a couple of years ago and found a solution for macOS. I will search and post shortly (I hope).
Verbosity: Profusely promulgating Graham's number epics of complete and utter verbiage by the metric monkey barrel.
OK. Found it. I remembered working with Andy (structure) on this prior to his tragic passing.
if sys.platform == "win32":
os.startfile( helpFile )
else:
subprocess.call( [ "open", helpFile ] )
The OS test you have is fine, so that can stay.
The next question becomes "Do you care about blocking?"
I.e. the "open" call will basically just tell macOS Finder to open the file with whatever it normally would.
If you need Poser Python to wait for that app (whichever one opens the file) to quit, then a "-W" parameter after the "open" should work.
It all gets quite a bit harder if you need to test for the file being closed, rather than the app quitting.
Hope this helps. :-D

Thanks for the effort. I will integrate this into my Python code and then hope that it works as I imagine.OK. Found it. I remembered working with Andy (structure) on this prior to his tragic passing.

I am currently writing a tool to change the textures of figures and props at once. I start the Windows Explorer at a certain place. Depending on the operating system, the Mac OS Finder should also be able to start at this point. But I don't know anything about the Mac OS, nor do I have access to a Mac computer.
Can someone help me?
With kind regards
The code for the Windows Explorer in shortened form
import subprocess
import platform
command = 'explorer /select,"{}"'.format(self.__File)
if platform.system() == 'Windows':
subprocess.Popen(command)
