I’ve been pulling out my hair trying to figure this out…
I can’t import .svg, .eps, or .ai files into blender! I keep getting a ‘Python Script Error’ when I try to import.
I’m using a windows box with latest Blender and Python 2.4 installed if that helps any:(
Did you set the Python Patch? Without it set, Blender can’t run scripts.
Yeah I’ve got the patch and am still having issues getting AI paths/etc imported 
I kind of gave up earlier and took a from scratch approach (with bezier curves) to build the Seattle Space Needle legs (which I already had formatted as paths). I’m going to dive even deeper in the problem tomorrow with Python -thanx!
Look, I really don’t know what it can be. Maybe if you save as a previous version of Illustrator, it would work…
