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.

Subject: Looking for interactive Python command shell for Poser

Months ago I know I ran across a free Python script that lets you enter Python commands like the standalone Python interpreter shell. I did not download it and I can't find it anywhere. If it was posted here, it was with a nonsense title because every search involving "command", "interactive", or "shell" produces nothing or at least not what I'm looking for.

I don't need a full IDE, although that would be really nice. I just want to try ad hoc commands and get the results printed while I'm in Poser.

Any suggestions?

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

You can run IDLE from within Poser.

This is the recipe for P6 (and should work for P5):-
Copy the Toolsidle directory from the full version a full version of Python 2.2 (as close as you can get to 2.2.15, I tried with 2.2.3150)

For the version I used a couple of fixups were necessary :-
In PyShell.py, replace "runnable = True" with "runnable = 1"
In EditorWindow.py, replace "runnable = False" with "runnable = 0"

From the file menu run the script idle.py
First command to execute should probably always be "import poser".

Fantastic! Worked first time. Thank you so much - that's just what I needed.
