interacting with python, how?!?

[jens.diemer]

We have the simple python interface: http://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/MAXScript-Help/files/GUID-860B6BEB-AE3E-4F99-96E9-CCD70D...

But how can i send and receive information between maxscript and python?!?

The only information from python to maxscript are the return codes:

#success | #pathError | #initError | #scriptFileError | #executeError

That's all?!?

Must i use a temp file for communications?!?

Yes, as you see in the documentation there is limited interop between MAXScript and Python. From MAXscript, getting data from Python is not diorectly possible. But you can also execute MAXScript from python and there you have more ability to get data from the MAXScript environment. See here:

hope it helps,
