@undeadbydawn, Iv heard of this, odd that the finder dosnt have it as a UI pref like linux/windows, otherwise why dont you set a user scripts directory in your prefs?

What I would reeeaaaally like is a relatively easy way of adding python scripts to the Mac Blender distro. The current process [which involves hacking Finder and hunting blind for the right folder, then hoping that Blender accepts its existance] is an utter pig, which mostly doesn't even work.

this makes using many funky new powers utterly frustrating at the very best of times. I mostly just give up.

Thanks, PlantPerson. After reading just part of it, I've already improved a script I'm working on.

A while back I wrote a doc on Blender/Python performance tips, most of this is still relevant

I have been using python for a while and wondered if there is better ways to do certain tasks, in several of the cases listed on that page I was doing it the slower way.
