I thought Tkinter or Ktinker or whatever it's called was supposed to be included with the ProPack. Was a Python script editor included? If so, can anyone tell me where in the Runtime directory I can find it? The "edit script" option just launches WordPad, which will only save as a text file....

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.

I haven't found an editor included with the Pro-Pack. I have been using PythonWin and saving the scripts in a test folder under poserScripts. It works just fine so far. I've recently had to work the Mac make side of the aisle and have been using the idle that comes with MacPython. It also does a good job. TkInter is a different thing altogether. It's a set of GUI modules that let you create panels, buttons, sliderbars etc. Python and PoserPython scripts are by their nature just text files so any text editor will do to work with them.

Aha! I misunderstood, then. Thanks, Bushi. I will try PythonWin. For some reason, when I rename a text file with the .py suffix, it becomes "filename.py.txt" instead of "filename.py". Huh....

try www.scintilla.org if you want a straight editor. It does the color coding and tabbing for Python and it also does HTML, C/C++, etc. Nice for basic editing.
