Some "constants" I often use:

# Poser <= version 11 seems to work with 32-bit float precision (Numpy standard is 64-bit)
VERSION = float(poser.Version()) if poser.Version()[0].isdigit() else 11
NP_PRECISION = NP.float32 if int(VERSION) <= 11 else NP.float
NP_VERT_ZERO = NP.array((0, 0, 0), NP_PRECISION)

# Simplification to deal with some names used as indices
X, Y, Z = range(3)
A, B, C, D = range(4)
QUAD = 4
TRI = 3

(Because Poser does not know constants, I write them in Uppercase to remember)
