I have searched for an hour for the answer to this...

In the Poser 8 runtime, there was a folder for Python scripts. I can't seem to find this in the Poser 9 runtime.

If I am blind, and it's right under my nose, please tell me. I need to install quite a few scripts and can't figure out where they are supposed to go... this is embarassing...

you can find them at this address... RuntimePythonposerscripts...i usually put all scripts in the utility folder

Y'all have a great day.

Strange... I don't have that folder. Maybe something went wrong with my install? Crap...

Um, I've found that the install puts the Python folder in the My Documents folder in a folder called Poser Pro 2012 Content - yours might be similarly done.

Check for compatibility first.  There is a Python scripting change with P9/PP2012 versions; any older scripts which have not been recompiled will not work.

The only folder I found is in the program files folder under Poser 9.... the scripts are working, so.... I guess that's where it is. I am going to ask SM...

1 uninstall Poser

2 Install to a C:Poser 9, directory and a C:Poser 9 Content, Directory

Be much happier when Poser works way better

Now after all that you will find the folder your after in the runtime of the content dir.

You do not have to uninstall

Just do a search for *.py files.

They will tell you where they are located.

They are located in the Program Files directory. Everything is working like it should. I realized that I can put my scripts anywhere I want to, and just find it when I install them in the Python window, so everything is good here.

Whew - seems like I'm posting the same information day after day.

There are two runtimes. One for program elements and scripts, the other for content.


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)

Yeah, sorry about that, BB. I should have looked a little harder. I got it after I decided I had to do more than open the program and ask "yoohoo! Python, are in you in here?" Seems that inanimate objects don't answer after all... :biggrin:
