what is the best way to run scl2pd.py from within pd? i forgot where shell is located. i want an open file dialog then pass the file name to scl2pd.py. i probably ought to just rewrite in a language i understand like java and have the ratios sent to a table through udp that way I can have a cool scala browser that displays info about the scale before selecting it to be used since there are over 4000 of them

You could use the [shell] external to quickly run the script, or rewrite it to be a Lua external, which shouldn't be hard.
But scl2pd.py is intended to be run from the command line. With it, you can convert all the scales that are part of the Scala software with a single command:
scl2pd.py *.scl
After that, you get one file ending in ".scl.tab" for every scale and don't need to run scl2pd.py again.
