I wrote Curious Labs and asked what restrictions if any they put into the scripting language. Here is their reply: *********************************** Thanks for your understandable concern. The answer is "No. We do not restrict Python's use... At least not for this release. It is certainly possible to create malicious scripts... but at the same time it is possible to create very powerful scripts. While embedding Python, we have mostly been concerned with empowering the professional communtity... i.e. giving them the tools they need to do whatever they want with Poser. The problem with restriction is that there will invariably be users out there that want or need whatever Python features we remove. Thanks again for your questions. We're doing the best we can to listen to and work for our online community, so please keep up the feedback, be it complimentary or critical. -Jack Walther ************************************** So apparently the socket support and everying is available. Just be cautious when accepting scripts.
