I have two machines with the same Miller Pd 0.39, Python 2.4.2 and py.dllfrom the 0.38 extended release, but on one machine the py object is not drawn in the patch window! The .pd file does have a listing for the py object and the py object can be patched. I found an email from about a year ago where Thomas said this was due to an old version of py/pyext. Since all I did was copy the Pd files from one machine to another, I don't know what the difference could be. Am I missing a DLL or something on the one Windows machine?
The workaround is to bury the object down tow subpatches and it magically appears.

Wow. You mean the py external is invisible in root patches, but visible in subpatches? What about abstractions? I never really was able to reproduce the behaviour... greetings, Thomas

Exactly the case - subpatches display the object but the top level patch does not. I haven't tried an abstraction yet. If the abstraction works I coudl simply roll one around the py object I suppose. I only use it in abstractions for actual work, the problem only happened with simple test patches.

The binaries for everything are identical between machines so I have no idea what is the variable causing the invisible object.
greetings,
