MotionBuilder comes with its own external Python interpreter.
External Python interpreters are useful for batch processing and for accessing MotionBuilder's libraries from another application.
MotionBuilder is packaged with two mobupy interpreters: a Python 3 interpreter and a Python 2 interpreter. By default, the mobupy command points to the Python 3 interpreter.
The Python interpreters are located in the following directories:
| Platform | Location |
|---|---|
| Windows | C:\Program Files\Autodesk\"MotionBuilder <Version>"\bin\x64 |
| Linux | /usr/autodesk/MotionBuilder<VersionNumber>/bin/linux_64 |
mobupy must be run from a command line.
mobupy can also be used to install Python 3 packages using the pip package management system.
