ok I have a few python scripts for light. I have gotten a couple here at free stuff but I cant seem to get one that is a light utility to work. it is for a light panel and when I click it ...nothing happens. from the thumb nail that was shown it seems a light panel window was suppose to show but I get nothing. the only python script I really used befor this was to delet all lights. that works but...I cant seem to get anything else to work. HELP

Are you using PC or Mac? The Mac requires special attention to run the more complex Python scripts that have "panels". On a PC, you should get at least an error message; I'm a bit puzzled by the fact that nothing at all happens!

Try downloading again. I remember fixing a fairly serious bug in that script, but I don't know if that's where your problem is. To be sure we're talking about the same thing, here's a direct link.

I suspect there is something missing in your system, but I can't tell what it is. A couple of hints: if you mean that you picked up an interpreter from Python.Org website, don't worry about what it says. Using scripts INSIDE Poser is a very different matter from using Python in a more general way, and the info from Python.Org doesn't fit very well. The bit about not finding a "module named poser" is also meaningless. All of our Poser scripts begin with the statement "import poser" which picks up necessary information from inside Poser itself. More importantly, let's look at your Poser version. Some of the earlier sub-versions of Propack did not handle Python well. Hit the Help menu in Poser and click "About" to get the full version information. You should see 4.2.1.179 for the last version of ProPack. If your Poser version is before that, you should go to Curious Labs and download the last one. Even if you do have the latest, it might be worthwhile to run a fresh download and install anyway, because I think you may have some missing files in the Poser directory.
