If you're interested in seeing how maya handles `userSetup.py`, the code exists here on windows (no clue on other platforms, but probably a similar location): `c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2018\Python\Lib\site-packages\maya\app\startup\basic.py`
One extra thing, if you set the `MAYA_SKIP_USERSETUP_PY` environment variable, no `userSetup.py` files will be executed. I don't know if there is a similar way to block `userSetup.mel` On Monday, September 11, 2017 at 6:10:13 PM UTC-5, Robert White wrote: > > Maya will exec every single `userSetup.py` files that it finds on > `sys.path` during startup, into the `__main__` namespace, the GUI won't > exist yet, so any modifications you want to make to the interface need to > be wrapped in a function that is passed to `maya.utils.executeDeffered` > which will trigger during the next idle tick, at which point the GUI will > exist. > > At the end of startup, maya will then run the first `userSetup.mel` that > it finds on the MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH. > > So you can have multiple `userSetup.py` files, but only one > `userSetup.mel`. > > > > On Monday, September 11, 2017 at 6:04:29 PM UTC-5, Justin Israel wrote: >> >> >> >> On Tue, Sep 12, 2017 at 11:01 AM jettam <justin...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Q1 ..
