Hey Guys,

Well I only saw a few snippets of this thread and didn't wanna read it completely since the discussion was going pointless with "lets replace python with some other scripting language" . Replacing or restricting sounds completely lame when the whole industry is moving towards python to harness its capabilities :) . +1 for Matt Ebb`s points . Also if security is a concern to many non-production or casual artists then blender developers can provide an option in blender command line which can disable the so called "security" so it doesn't hamper the real production. TDs in production can then make a shell script or batch file that starts blender with that option turned on so it doesn`t cause problems and distribute it in their studio . Its still irritating to do so many stunts in a studio to get it working as excepted . I would rather like to dump that security feature if its a problem :/ . One more idea is to have it disabled by default like maya and other 3d apps and have a tick box in splash screen with bold text "enable security" , . My 2 cents ;)
