I know that SR3 has been out for sometime, but I was reluctant to update due to the already myriad of previously reported problems.

That being said, after purchasing some pose sets, I was getting version warnings with those same pose sets. So, after speaking with one of the pose set vendors, I then went ahead and and got the SR3 update for Poser 7..

Everything was fine until it came to running a Python script. EVERY time I tried to use a script either by way of the python script window/list pane or running a script from the "File" menu, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:Program Filese frontierPoser 7RuntimePythonposerScriptsWacrosOcclusionMast er.py", line 338, in ?
MatDlg = MaterialsDlg(tk)
File "C:Program Filese frontierPoser 7RuntimePythonposerScriptsWacrosOcclusionMast er.py", line 70, in init
Label(self.HelpFrame, text='HELP', font=f).grid(row=0, col=0,sticky="w")
File "C:Program Filese frontierPoser 7RuntimePythonliblib-tkTkinter.py", line 1790, in grid_configure
self.tk.call(
_tkinter.TclError: ambiguous option "-col": must be -column, -columnspan, -in, -ipadx, -ipady, -padx, -pady, -row, -rowspan, or -sticky

This occurs regardless of the script location or the script being used. Anyone have a concrete solution to fixing this AND keeping the SR3 update?

Poser 7 and Poser Pro both use Python version 2.4. In previous versions the Python Tkinter keyword "col" was allowed as a short form of "column". In the new version only "column" is accepted.

Open your PY file in a text editor and serch for "col" replace with "column". Save and retry.

Python 2.4 was used by Poser 7 from the get-go, SR3 has not suddenly updated it.

Version errors in pose sets ?  sounds like somethings not being quality checked properly. You can edit the pz2 file and change the version number to 4.01 unless there is a version specific feature being used.
