Nuke + 3rd party python module

I am playing with doing some python in Nuke, and I want to use the 3rd party pywin32 module. Anybody get this to work and know what I need to do?

I’m making a script to take position data from a tracker, and copy it to the clipboard as After Effects 6.5 data so I can use it conveniently with another program. (Specifically, particle illusion.) I have the basic functionality of the script working as far as having it just print the data to teh console, and I manually select and copy it myself. But, as I understand it, to stick it directly onto the Windows clipboard, I’ll need to use the win32 module. I tried just downloading the pywin32 installer exe and running it while hoping for the best. But, it seems to have only installed for my stand-alone python, but python in Nuke doesn’t see it. I tried manually sticking stuff into the "site packages" folder, but that didn’t do the trick.

So, do you know how to get text onto the clipboard, or how to install a python module properly so nuke will see it? And, if anybody wants the script, I’ll post it as soon as I can make it work properly.

Planet Harddrive

“For several years I’ve been fascinated by what might be called the geological nature of harddrives – how certain mineral arrangements of metal and ferromagnetism result in our technological ability to store memories, save information, and leave previous versions of the present behind.”

Autodesk Introduces Softimage 7.5

Monday, February 23, 2009
By: Thomas J. Mclean


Autodesk has launched Softimage 7.5, adding features such as UV unfolding technology and an integrated mental ray renderer into the popular game creation and visual effects application.
This release sees a name change for the software, which was formerly known as Softimage|XSI and was acquired by Autodesk from Avid Technology.
"It has been three months since we acquired substantially all of the assets of Softimage and its integration into Autodesk is going extremely well, says Marc Petit, Autodesk Media & Entertainment senior VP. “The team has kept Softimage 7.5 on plan and it has shipped without delay. We remain committed to delivering solid future releases of the software."
The UV Unfolding Technology enables artists to unwrap polygon models with just a few clicks. The package also provides UV editing tools that assist in the creation and editing of UV maps.
Softimage 7.5 also includes a Multithreaded Syflex Cloth Simulator, enabling artists to use the cores on their machine to iterate faster. Also, scenes saved in Softimage 7.5 will load into Softimage 7.0. :radar::cool::rolleyes::tasty::twisted::niceone:

SEBASTIEN TELLIER / Das.Graphiker

As I was flickering through the internets I came across these classy photos of soon to be epic style icon, Sebastien Tellier. He’s been around for years being all full of musical genius and stuff, has his own v-neck line at American Apparel, makes soundtracks for never-to-be-seen french films with Mr. Oizo and toasts champagne with Guy Manuel from Daft Punk who produced his most recent album, Sexuality. Dude makes going bald kind of awesome.
