I don't use a lot of Python scripts, but the ones I do use I rely on quite heavily. Chief amongst those is svdl's "SpawnCharacterP6 update".

I just upgraded to PP2012 (from P6), and as you will know, many (all?) py scripts made for earlier poser versions do not work in PP2012.

I know nothing about Python scripting personally, though I have managed to make some very simple hacks to one of svdl's scripts for saving poses (P6 version).

So the question is this: Is there anything I can do (as a Python illiterate) to convert "SpawnCharacterP6 update" so that it will work in PP2012? I would need clear instructions that assume no prior knowledge of Python.

A supplementary question: Is there a general method that would convert any py script to work in PP2012?
