[Tutor] Python and XSI

[Vishal Jain]

Yes XSI is a 3D package from Avid. Also knows as Softimage|XSI

By everything failed I mean that XSI isnt registering Python resulting in I
cant select scripitng langauge as Python inside XSI. After running the said
script the command prompt says "Python:Registered" but no error messages.

Yes XSI supports only ActiveX Scripts.

If everything goes good I expect to select scripting langauge as Python
inside XSI and start scripting. But apparently eveything went good as per
the manuals and docs except my luck :(

I did search google but will search more as per your guidlines. And I am a
beginner too in Python. I never coded before.

Thanks a lot for ur suggestions and concern.

By the way are you the same Alan Gauld who posts in XSI Base and CG Talk??

OK, I'm assuming that XSI is the 3D Graphics software from Avid?

Can you tell us which docs and what exactly 'failed' means?
What did you do and what actually happened?
Any error messages?

> C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32comext\axscript\client\pyscript.py

ISTR that as being the script for registering Python as an
Active Scripting language for WSH and the IE ActiveX engine.

I assume from that, that XSI uses active scripting?

What did you expect to happen after running it?
And what did happen?

I had to do a Google search...
You might have more luck on the main comp.lang.python list or
maybe even in the pyGame list. This group is for beginners to Python
and XSI looks a tad advanced for most beginners, going by the couple
of pages I browsed. OTOH there is usually somebody here with an
interest in most things...
