it's a bit different from maya.cmds pymel is object-oriented not string-passing-oriented * however it is actually doing the string passing in most cases under the hood but you don't have to worry about it.
I like using the "see" module to view what methods are on pynode objects. download it and put it in your scripts dir http://inky.github.com/see/ you make an object and then you "see" the methods and attributes on the object. example: import pymel.core as pm from see import see jnt = pm.joint() # CHECK OUT ALL THE METHODS YOU CAN DO see(jnt) and it will give you a list of methods you can run on a joint. this applies to all pynodes created or cast by pymel. pymel wraps maya.cmds under-the-hood so for some methods in pymel you can pass in the same arguments like for instance the .inputs() and .outputs() methods are wrapping maya.cmds listConnections so you can pass the same arguments. so if you did help(jnt.inputs) you would see it's wrapping maya.cmds version of listConnections as a method on the object. check this out (begin shameless self promotion): http://www.cgcircuit.com/course/intro-to-pymel-part-1 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
