fpr the window title in mel you pass a string "myWidowTitle"
in python you are passing an argument self.windowTitle
is self.windowTitle set as "myWindowTitle"??
eg.
self.windowTitle = 'myWindowTitle'
self.WindowHandle = cmds.window(title=self.windowTitle,
maximizeButton=False, widthHeight=(300,300))
if you pass an empty string into the title slot maya will automatically name
the title with the window name
if your question is about the window naming as well then read on::
in your mel example you pass a string called myFunction at the end. so I am
assuming your window was called myFunction
call your python like this:
self.windowTitle = 'myWindowTitle'
self.WindowHandle = cmds.window('myFunction', title=self.windowTitle,
maximizeButton=False, widthHeight=(300,300))
in MEL when you name a ui control you put it's name at the end
in python, since name is not a keyword argument you have to put it first in
your arguments followed by your keyword args
