Have you actually used the stuff that comes with Maya? It is unusable. And, albeit the python api could have been made much simpler, Alias did a mess with it. You end up with tons of unmaintainable code in the long run. I've since created Ruby bindings to all the maya api so I don't have to touch that mess. Python was the hot stuff to learn 3-5 years ago (when I told you to look at it). Today, it does not make much sense anymore. For speed and thread safety, you have Lua and for ease of use and maintainability you have Ruby. I'm still looking for a scripting language that is both multithread safe and has all the features of ruby, thou. -- Gonzalo Garramuño [EMAIL PROTECTED] AMD4400 - ASUS48N-E GeForce7300GT Kubuntu Edgy _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
