PyPRP

A couple of things...

The PyCrypto module that GoW wiki links to is: http://www.amk.ca/files/python/crypto/p ... 0.1.tar.gz
OK, that is tuff for a lot of Windows users to get open. Then the 'READ ME' talks about a compile and then an install. This seems like a lot of work when the Windows installer is here: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modu ... l#pycrypto

However the FREE program ZipGenius will unzip the .gz files (It works on Vista too).

Of course the VoidSpace.org program wants to install directly to the Python folder. But it can find that in the Windows registry so it is automatic.

Where is the Blender Scripts Folder?
If one is having a problem finding which directory Blender installed the SCRIPTS folder in, do this. Change a Blender window to a Text Editor window. (The left most button at the bottom of any window. Then paste the following code into it:

Code: Select all

import Blender
print Blender.Get('scriptsdir')

Now press alt-p or click File -> Run Python Script. The directory path to the scripts folder will be printed in the console. (That DOS looking second window Blender opens. (Thanks to SL'er Domino Marama for the tip)

It would help if we could get this info in the wiki... if I knew where to put it... I could not find any info on getting PyCrypto installed.

I think using the default scripts location can save a lot of other problems, especially if one has other tools installed. I run special scripts for SL and these for Uru. Changing the directory on an existing install seems like it could knock out other scripts.

That is the link for Linux geeks. The Windows installation is in a zip file.

I would have sworn I clicked on the Windows link...

Blender does have install options. Since no one remembers (or few understand) where the options put the scripts folder... the two line script for Blender can be a big time saver.
