This isn't a Maya specific problem though, from what I can see. In your example you never call any of your 4 specialized methods. You only create a Point (a custom python class you have defined) with some params. So let's pretend that there is no Maya API under the hood here. What I was wondering is how you figured any of those methods would magically get called for you without you calling them directly? Or is your test function incomplete and there is more detail that you have not shared? -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to python_inside_maya+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/f055acff-03c5-4a4d-a22e-47cb9c5c8bd2%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/f055acff-03c5-4a4d-a22e-47cb9c5c8bd2%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
