[Maya-Python] Calling a compiled QT file in Maya
Trying to get QT Ui file to work in Maya I could use the loadUI command for example: import maya.cmds as cmds dialog = cmds.loadUI(f=r'C:/Python26/Lib/site-packages/PyQt4/examples/ designer/calculatorform/calculatorform.ui') cmds.showWindow(dialog) Don't expect the calculator to actually work but the UI opens in Maya. But, I want to be able to edit UI elements so I used uic.compileUi to convert the file into a Python file in hopes to make method calls to add and remove UI elements while the window is open. The first four lines are: from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui class Ui_CalculatorForm(object): def setupUi(self, CalculatorForm): ... At this point I don't know how to call the Ui_CalculatorForm class method setupUi since it needs a different class called CalculatorForm. Thanks in advance. -- http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya
Re: [Maya-Python] Calling a compiled QT file in Maya
I use multiple inheritance...
import ui_Browser
class Browser(QtGui.QWidget, ui_Browser.Ui_Form):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(Browser, self).__init__(parent)
self.setupUi(self)
self.setObjectName('Browser')
self.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.WA_DeleteOnClose)

RE: [Maya-Python] Calling a compiled QT file in Maya
I edited the class below to reference the class for my browser using the following lines of code to show the window:
a = Browser()
a.show()
Two things happen.. first the window does not stay "parented" to the main Maya window and will disappear under Maya.
Second... using the compiled version of calculatorform that comes with Qt works fine. However, when I used uic.compileUi to complile the calculatorform.ui. I get the following error:
# Error: ... global name '_' is not defined #
The compiler added a '_' that doesn't belong. For example:
CalculatorForm.setWindowTitle(_( u"Calculator Form"))
If I removed the '_', it will open.
Also, on a ui that I created I had to comment out the following lines because:
test.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)
test.setMenuBar(self.menubar)
test.setStatusBar(self.statusbar)
They cause a Attribute Error such as:
# Error: AttributeError ... 'Browser' object has no attribute 'setCentralWidget' #
Is there a way to get a compiled version of a Ui to open without having to edit the file?
Thanks,

RE: [Maya-Python] Calling a compiled QT file in Maya
Figured outthe "_" thing, guess I should grab working code online.Appears uic.compileUI does use pyuic4
No, it doesnt run everytime an instance is made. Well, plan on makingcompile Ui files when a py is not found.
Now, the window (partically displayed) is literaly embeded in the top left corner of Maya making it unuseable.
Thanks,

I wrote a PyQt ui to browser and convert them on double click using os.systemcmd = 'pyuic4 %s %s' % (DesignFile, OutPutFile)os.system(cmd)To be honest, it was on of the 1st things I did so I've never looked at another way to convert files. Does your method convert each and every time you make an instance?-Dave

Re: [Maya-Python] [maya-pymel] variable error when casting python variable to mel
Thank you ! that did the trick !
2010/8/5 damon shelton damondshel...@gmail.com
mel.eval('filetest -d '+var1 + ';')
you have to put around your path in the eval statement

Hello all,
can anyone explain why this does not work ?
def melVarTest():
var1 = C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2011/bin/plug-ins/
result = mel.eval(string $var1Mel = `python var1`;)
print result
melVarTest()
# MelError: Error during execution of MEL script: line 1: name 'var1'
is not defined
The reason for doing this is because I want to use the mel filetest
command and this seemed to me to be the best option.
I have also tried:
mel.eval(filetest -d +var1)
But that instantly crashes maya. (fatal error)
And when writing it the pymel way it gives me a syntax error that I
can not figure out
mel.filetest(var1, d=True)
# MelError: Error during execution of MEL script: line 1: Invalid call
to filetest. Check number and types of arguments expected by the
procedure.
# Calling Procedure: filetest, in Command
# filetest(var1, d=True) #
Would anyone be so kind to help me out :)
Thanks,

Re: [Maya-Python] Ipymel inside maya gui
I'm new to maya and pymel. I'd like to learn to script maya using pymel. I was wondering if it's possible to use ipymel inside the maya gui. It seems like it would be a pretty handy tool. I've looked into this briefly, and unfortunately, I just don't think this is possible without a lot of work (ie, really getting into the internals of ipython and mucking around). If you want to give it a shot, though, it would be awesome! If it is possible how? If it's not possible is there a way to run ipymel in a terminal and see the results updated in the maya gui? This is probably somewhat easier - you'd have to set up a system where you feed commands into maya through a command port, ala Eclipse Maya, or Maxya. I don't know of anyone who's actually done this yet, though... - Paul -- http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya
