[Maya-Python] Re: Simple program with complicated problem! InternalVar issue?

Re: [Maya-Python] Procedural programming stairs. Have a RuntimeError saying my object is not found?
First thing don't use your style formatting to post code, its totally not
readable :(. Can you put your code in pastebin or some other
https://gist.github.com/ . It will much better.

The only difference in stepDepthSlider is that it is used in my rotate
function... but so is stepWidthSlider!

Re: [Maya-Python] Pyblish By Example
Hey Marcus, Just a list of feedback as I read through it: * The quickstart showed 4 different plugin classes that were used. It would be nice if you first just quickly said something like pyblish has a number of task oriented classes to derive from. these 4 do xyz. Just a short sentence on the purpose of each one. * In the quick start, you might not want to use an assert as an official example of a validator implementation. I believe assert statements can be optimised away from code if the code is run under a python optimisation flag. Might be an edge case, but people may just take your example and always do it. Is there another way to fail the validation? Is it only AssertionError? Or is it any exception raised? Might be good to be absolutely clear about what is expected to communicate a validation failure that will be properly handled by the framework. * Files - can PYBLISHPLUGINPATH take multiple paths? I. e. : or ; separated? * Branching 2 - I actually had to read that example a couple times to get the fact that PrintAssets operates on each asset. I know you mentioned earlier that it uses dependency injection, but I have rarely (if ever) seen it used like this in a dynamic language. Normally it is much clearer in a statically typed language where you can read the exact type, as opposed to how this is magical based on the attribute names. The part I found confusing is that not only is it based purely on magic variable names, but in addition to injecting the dependencies, it also changes the behaviour of the function. It was hard for me to get that from reading the code. Two plugins derived from the same plugin base class, implementing the same process() function, with the same number of arguments... but different argument names... will behave differently. What happens if I do process(self, context, asset)? That is legal right? Are there any illegal combinations that will be ambiguous as to what the plugin will actually want to do? * Validating 1/2 - More use of assert as an official example, which might not be a good idea: https://wiki.python.org/moin/UsingAssertionsEffectively Assertions should *not* be used to test for failure cases that can occur because of bad user input or operating system/environment failures, such as a file not being found. Instead, you should raise an exception, or print an error message, or whatever is appropriate. One important reason why assertions should only be used for self-tests of the program is that assertions can be disabled at compile time. * Report 4 - Let's get cackin'. typo? Hope that feedback is useful!

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: Simple program with complicated problem! InternalVar issue?
Or, if you're like me and don't ever remember how the %s formatting works:
imagePath={pth}icons/staircon.jpg.format(pth=mc.internalVar(userPrefDir=True))
or better yet, because it's a file path:
import os
imagePath= os.path.join(mc.internalVar(userPrefDir=True), 'icons',
'staircon.jpg')
That last one is often best, because it will handle os specific things like
whether directories are split by '/' or by '\'.
