You are right. `*` will have no effect in python. There's a bug.
using:
myobj = 'myCube*'
and then:
if myobj == myobj:
# delete ...
works, becuase `sel('myobj*', ....) already preselects all the object
starting with 'myCube' and then myobj == myobj always evaluates to True (as
you pointed the myobj = 'myCube*' is overridden by myobj in sel) thus
deleting all the cubes only.
My code, with todelete = 'myCube*' will NOT work but myobj = 'myCube*' will
work.
I think the best option would be a simpler:
def delcube(self, *args):
todelete = cmds.ls("myCube*", sl=True, dag=True, v=True, ud=False)
for obj in todelete:
try:
cmds.delete(obj)
except ValueError:
# Shape Node already deleted
pass
