Re: Softimage Python versus Maya Python

[Yi Liang Siew]

I dunno about everyone else, but I actually really like PyCharm a lot 
these days (went from NPP to Sublime to PyCharm). Being able to debug 
Python scripts is super helpful in Maya/XSI :) (haven't gotten around to 
trying to connect it with Nuke as well yet hehe)

I don't really like PyMEL that much, I only use it when I need quick 
access to vector math functions etc....Now that I'm more familiar with 
C++, I have to say the advice of everyone here to go ahead and 'do it in 
C++' from the get-go is a lot less painful overall than dealing with all 
the SWIG-stuff that I would have to go through when using PyMEL or 
OpenMaya. :D
