See my post above. Max does not register any COM servers for itself by default, you have to tell it to do that. The registerPythonCom.ms script I me…

Try creating a COM server inside your Python app, and connecting to it from MaxScript (with createOLEObject). There’s some details on making Python C…

If you’re using COM to connect to Max using Python, you’re going to be limited to the data types that COM supports for return values. Offhand, I belie…

In my experience they don’t behave differently. Both of those commands open their respective app on my machines. I couldn’t tell you why, perhaps yo…
