Thank you for the tips Marcus. As checking the PYTHONPATH, I guess the
problem was I have an older version of assetManager.py saved in the 2017
scripts folder and that directory is part of the PYTHONPATH directories
Maya will look for modules. Maya 2018 might parse the 2017 scripts
directory and execute the older version of assetManager.py first.
cheers,
Jason
