Other hosts that utilize OFX may operate the mocha Pro OFX Plugin correctly, but at this stage they are unofficially supported and may experience problems. Python is not supported in the plugin versions of mocha Pro or mocha VR. This means any tools created by Python will not be functional. This includes some exports such as Silhouette shapes.
