Hi Piotr!
Welcome! What I like to do for this is initialize the variable to
whatever I want to call the window. It's one of the few UI names I will
set explicitly, and you only need to do this for the initial parent
object. Like so:
objAligner = "myWindowName"
if cmds.window(objAligner, exists=True):
cmds.deleteUI(objAligner)
|
objAligner =mc.window(objAligner, title='Object Alignment
Tool',s=False,wh=(300,100),ret=True)
|
It's just a matter of declaring the variable first.
Hope that helps!

Ok. firstly - I'm new to Python in Maya and my English is not so great
either so pardon me that ^^
While I was learning MEL and Python I came across this problem which I
can't figure out. So to be more clear I'll show my MEL code first and
then it's Python equivalent.

string$objAligner;
if(`window -ex $objAligner`){
deleteUI -window $objAligner;
}
string$objAligner =`window -t "Object Alignment Tool" -s false -wh 300
100 -ret`;
columnLayout -adj true;
text -l "Instructions: select targets then affected object";
button -l "Execute"-w 300-h 40-c "aligner";
showWindow $objAligner;
proc aligner(){
string$prntCnstr =`parentConstraint`;
delete$prntCnstr;
}

importmaya.cmds asmc
ifmc.window(objAligner,ex=True):
mc.deleteUI(objAligner,window=True)
objAligner =mc.window(title='Object Alignment
Tool',s=False,wh=(300,100),ret=True)
mc.columnLayout(adj=True)
mc.text(l='Instructions: select targets then affected object')
mc.button(l='Execute',w=300,h=40,c='aligner()')
mc.showWindow(objAligner)
defaligner():
prntCnstr =mc.parentConstraint()
mc.delete(prntCnstr)

So what I want to achieve is checking if window I have created is open and if
it is then I want to close it and create new one in the same place.
In MEL everything is ok because I can execute the first line of code without
anny errors:/string $objAligner;/
In Python though, we create variable when we assign value to a name so if I open Maya and
execute script shown above I get an error of undefined name "objAligner".
Is there any way to solve this?
