There are no errors at the top of the script editor when Maya launches.
When running this command; print '\n'.join(sys.path), the last line is not
my Custom Python Scripts path.
In my system environment variable I have; MAYA_APP_DIR which points to a
custom path overriding the default Maya default installation path which
usually resides in MyDocuments > Maya > 201X-64. Therefore in the new
MAYA_APP_DIR path, I have a Maya.env and in that Maya.env file I have the
PYTHONPATH="" you most likely know this by now but I recapped for
clarification.
In my userSetup.mel file, which rests in the custom path as stated in the
MAYA_APP_DIR system environment variable specifically within;
customPath\customPath2\Preferences\2015-x64\scripts
When restarting Maya and trying to run any Python script, they don't run,
so my guess is, the Python scripts can't find the Python Modules.
