The module system works well for deploying script packages internally. The way I did mine was upon submission to perforce a trigger copied the updates to the network drive. Artists machines had a environment variable to point to the server for the MAYA_MODULE_PATH which picked up everything we ne

Hello, First time posting. This past week I also started to dive into the Python API more thoroughly, and started creating the very node I think you're trying to as well. You can find the code below, hopefully it helps. I know it's not perfect, but it's where I've gotten after a week of researc

Oh cool. Thanks for confirming that, Tim. Good to know that they did manage to find a qualified person for this topic. I didn't mean to discourage anyone from buying the book. Only that you should be wary when they are from this publisher. I'm glad to see that the author identified Packt as being a

Let me know if it ends up being good. I can't stand that Packt Publishing company and refuse to support their products. They have a practice of going around hunting for anybody with at least one keyword matching a subject they want to cover, regardless of the target persons actual experience. They

Looks interesting, but out of curiosity, why not set-up a shared path for access to scripts directly? There is typically a development branch and a production branch in which developers store scripts intended for use by others. I think modules are intended for commercialisation of plug-ins and such

If you'd contribute to RedCurrant by sharing your point of view and ideas, maybe it'll end up going in a similar direction than yours for at least a subset of their project? Who knows, it might be worth a try if it can help joining forces. Also, from their high-level requirements page, they don't
