I meant, *what we all know*, in other words, if scripts can't find python modules, *most* of the time they won't execute.
All python scripts are relying on Python modules, as I mentioned I had the Python module path in my system environment variable; but since deleted it from my system environment variable. Prior to deleting the path, any and all Python scripts in my custom path would work, thereafter deletion of the path from my system environment variable, they stopped working. Geordie mentioned to put the script path as he posted, rather then in my system environment variable into a userSetup.mel file then those modules would load and hopefully all my python scripts would begin working, once again; up to this point, that is not the case and I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong or what has become tangled so to speak ?
