[Maya-Python] couple of userSetup file questions.

2017-09-11 Thread jettam 
Q1 .. Is it okay for Maya (2017) to load two userSetup files upon launch, a 
.mel version and a .py version? 


Q2. I am trying to get maya to auto load my 'see' module upon launch. So I 
add this code to my userSetup.py  Unfortunately this doesnt work. Could 
someone tell me what I am missing in this code.

// PYTHON CONVENIENCE TOOL
from see import see

If I remember correctly, Maya would pick up the py file first if it exists,
otherwise it would use the mel script (or visa versa?) but I believe you
should only have one or the other.
That import statement looks correct to me, and it is similar to what I do
in my own userSetup.py:

import maya.cmds as cmds
import maya.OpenMaya as om

Re: [Maya-Python] couple of userSetup file questions.

2017-09-11 Thread Robert White 
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`.

Re: [Maya-Python] couple of userSetup file questions.

2017-09-11 Thread Robert White 
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`

@robert, thanks for that info, goldmine!

@jettam If that comment is present in your userSetup.py then you’ve got a
syntax error and the import would not happen. Try using a # instead of a //

 Could someone tell me what I am missing in this code.

YES!!! Thank you so much Marcus.  I have been tying to solve this one on

then your reply turned up :)
