I just installed Blender 2.4.1 and some of the scripts don’t work. Popup says, " python script error check message in console".
Ok… so I looked all over for the console. If it means the python scripts window, then nothing is showing. However it would be nice if I knew exactly what it meant by “console”??
The Console is a black, DOS-type window that runs behind Blender. If you’re running Mac or Linux and you don’t have one running you’ll have to open one from Applications/utils or somesuch.

Thanks… I think I understand. I am not running blender from a console.
I will shut it off and try running it directly from a console … Thanks!
To be sure: you will observe that Blender opens more than one window. One of which is a console where you can consult the python message.
Hi,
I have just installed 2.41 and am encountering a very similar problem; “python script error: check console”. Here’s what my console says:
Importing “/mnt/special/Games/Racing_Games/skinning/RENDERS/fo8-formula_v8.3ds”
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<string>”, line 646, in my_callback
File “<string>”, line 634, in load_3ds
File “<string>”, line 603, in process_main_chunk
File “<string>”, line 260, in process_object_block
File “<string>”, line 199, in getUniqueName
ValueError: object “Object1” not found
Saved session recovery to /tmp/quit.blend
Blender quit
I have compared the two blenders; 2.40 can still open the same .3ds file without this error message. The only addition in the 2.41 directory is the new release_241.txt so I’m not missing any files. I have even run ‘ldconfig’ but this didnt solve it. I have Python 2.4.1 in Slackware Linux 10.2. I’m a total Blender n0ob (this is my first post here :D), so I dunno if this is some mistake on my part, but I havent done anything different from 2.40. I haven’t re-run/re-installed the Scons program because Blender 2.41 still provides the Yafray renderer. I just tried removing the spaces from the .3ds filename & directory path, but still no joy.
Read this thread and make the change to line 203:

Thanks, that fixed it. It took me a while to notice that the 3ds_export.py file was in a hidden folder, but I got it eventually.
