The execfile is just a standard python builtin : https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#execfile
The plugin uses it to create a namespace specifically for the plugin, and execs the file under it to avoid affecting the main namespace of Maya, and to let it be persistent across calls. https://github.com/justinfx/MayaSublime/blob/master/MayaSublime.py On Mon, 23 Feb 2015 10:29 PM Lidia Martinez <darksideg...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks! > > The solutions on changing : sys.dont_write_bytecode = True won't work > for me.
