Can anyone tell me what the correct contents of the Python dir is?  I made a mess of the folder and now when I start poser I get the error:

"Can't open script for reading (PEPythonEngine::DoScript())"

Reinstall Obi-Wan it's your only hope :)

 

Seriously, reinstall Poser 6 followed by the latest service release.The Python library has over a thousand files in it so unles the Force is strong with you, you do not stand a chance.

 

Happy Star Wars Day by the way :)

Argh.  Alright.  Before I proceed -- Last year I went to the Python site and installed Python 2.4  I also have 2.1,  Do I need these?

Poser comes with its own version of Python. You can install a seperate copy of Python if you like (I have), but it will be independant of and not required by Poser.

Also, just to remind anyone trying to possible run pthon scripts who have multiple runtimes. All Python Scripts must be in the MAIN Poser runtime. If the script is in an external runtime, you'll get that error as well. (At least, that's what I was told!)

Thanks.  I deleted the old Python dir, then Installed P6 and the SR's, it all runs fine now.
