Do you just drag and drop the "."py file into the appropriate python folder?
It's bvh mixer i'm trying to use but there's no install instruction in the readme
Thanks

T'would be best to ask Ockham himself, and I'm sure he'll answer when he gets time, but in the meantime..

You should be able to just drop the script into a default Runtime folder, for example:-

/ Runtime / Python / poserScripts / ScriptsMenu / Ockham / xxxx.py

If you have P7 or P Pro (not sure about P6) you can then run it from the Scripts menu (Scripts --> Ockham --> xxxx.py).

Hope this helps

Attached Link: Add a script to Python Panel

 I'm just learning about this myself, but here's what I know (I'm using Poser Pro, by the way, but I think it's the same process for Poser 6 and 7. I don't know about Poser 4 or 5):
  1. As you said, drag and drop the py file to the appropriate Python folder. (What that folder is may depend on how you want to access the script. See the attached link to some very clearly described options about that.)

  2. The simplest way I know to open the Python script and is

a) Open a Poser scene
b) Click on File>Run Python Script
c) A browser opens. Browse to the location of the desired py file, select it, click on "Open"

When I do the above, the Python script opens. 

I'm counting on others to make any necessary corrections/alterations to the above!

Hope this helps.
