Ok,
I think I know what. Is going on. Just as I was about to give up, I thought
to myself, why couldn't I try rrunning maya standalone in Python IDLE. At first
I was simply getting an import error no module named maya.standalone. I searched
this error and the best answer I could find was to make sure that my system
enviroment pythonpath was set to
c:\program files\autodesk\maya2008\python\lib\site-packages
I did that, and I still got the same import error. So I did some more searching,
and one person had asked almost the same question at autodesk's forum. Although
no one had replied, the person asking the question said that he tried copying
the standalone.pyd file to the main site-packages folder, and it worked. So
rather than copying the file, I decided to use pythonKs os module to change
the current working directory like so...
Import os
os.chdir("c:\program files\autodesk\maya2008\python\lib\site-packages\maya")
I then tried
Import standalone
standalone.initialize(name='python')
I did not get an error, but it did not take as long to import as if I was doing
this in mayapy.exe, and sure enough, when I tried importing maya.cmds the import
worked, but the ls command spit out an AttributeError module object has no
attribute
'ls'
...so it sounds like to me that my enviroment varaibles are being ignored, and
possibly answers why I am getting all sorts of errors trying to use eclipse.
If so, is there a fix for this?
