The latest p6 patch pdf has a spelling error. The python function call SetCastShadows is really SetCastsShadows.

See linked thread.

The only way to be sure about what methods and attributes are called, is to get the documentation from the poser module.

There's a new patch out? Marque

No, there has been only one service release.
This is only a typo in the documentation (one of a few).
There are some more irritating errors that weren't corrected by SR1 (AFAICT, look through the Python Scripting forum for details).

Yude tink, hug? When it comes to programming functions (and just about everything else in many programming languages), spelling and case are critical. And the only way to know the spelling and case is through the documentation.

Agreed, but as Python has introspection / reflection then the definitive documentation comes from looking at the names that are actually defined, which is what documentation.py does.

In this case of SetCastsShadows, the method name is wrong in the "Method Name" line, but correct in the "Syntax" line.

Same goes for Java autodocs. It will yield class, member, and method names correct, but comments used for descriptions are up for user error.
