I played around with this a bit. Here's how to add a PyQt menu to Maya, so you can have icons in Maya menus (you loose optionBoxes though)
http://pastebin.com/h9KG4pRz import os from PyQt4 import QtCore as QtCore from PyQt4 import QtGui as QtGui import sip import pymel.all as p import maya.OpenMayaUI as apiUI class MayaQtMenu(QtGui.QWidget): '''Show qTools menu (with icons) inside Maya''' def __init__(self, name, label='', parent=None, lazy=False): parent = parent or self.getMayaWindow() QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, parent) label = label or name self.name = name.replace(' ', '_') if p.menu(self.name, exists=True): p.menu(self.name, e=True, dai=True) else: p.menu(self.name, l=label, parent='MayaWindow') self.menu = self.toQtObject(self.name) if not lazy: self.addItems() def addItems(self): '''Add menu items (actions) to menu. Placeholder. Must be implemented by subclass''' pass def getMayaWindow(self): ptr = apiUI.MQtUtil.mainWindow() return sip.wrapinstance(long(ptr), QtCore.QObject) def toQtObject(self, mayaName): ''' Given the name of a Maya UI element of any type, return the corresponding QWidget or QAction.
