Is it possible to create and use cpython scrips in the new grasshopper 2 of Rhino 8?

I mean it without add-on.

The new Rhino 8 script editor comes with CPython 3.9.10 (i.e. not plugins needed 🥳):

I don’t think it has been added to Grasshopper 2 yet, perhaps @DavidRutten can elaborate.

Thank you for the answer. I thought the grasshopper shown on Rhino 8 was version 2, which was not. As far as cpython is available within Grasshopper, it is good for many users.

I’m not sure about the current Rhino 8 release. But the Beta came with Grasshopper 1 (as has been the case since Rhino 6), and the option to install Grasshopper 2 via the PackageManager:

Note that you launch Grasshopper2 with the `G2` command.

Thank you, I will try Grasshopper 2.
