Python Problem

Coding Python Support
1

I am on a Gentoo platform and Blender (2.41) cannot find any Python scripts. I have Python installed 2.4.3-r4 but I do not know if Blender can see it or just cant find any scripts. Can someone point me to some tutorials for setting this up please.

  1. Ctrl+X for emptying current scene
  2. open User Preferences window
  3. click on File Paths
  4. enter path to your script folder
  5. Ctrl+U saves settings

Emptying the scene on the beginning is important, because Ctrl+U saves all the current settings including your scene. So if you have already modeled something, it would appear on every startup.

Thanks for your reply but I had managed to get that far but still have an issue. I have added the scripts folder which turned out to be /usr/lib64/blender/scripts and then ran update menu in the scripts window. Two things now confuse me:

     I could not find a ./blender directory in ~/
     some of the scripts give a python error but I have Python installed

so where is Blender saving my settings because ctrl+u works and saves my settings and what else needs to be set so that Blender can use my full install of Python.

Thanks for replying I am most gratefull
