Example usage of MDGContext:
import maya.OpenMaya as om
atTime10 = om.MDGContext(om.MTime(10))
import maya.OpenMaya as om
atTime10 = om.MDGContext(om.MTime(10))
selList = om.MSelectionList()
selList.add("pCube1.translateX")
plug = om.MPlug()
selList.getPlug(0, plug)
print "Value now: ", plug.asDouble()
print "Value at time 10:", plug.asDouble(atTime10)
...course, this isn't in a plugin, but I think the basic idea is the
same.
As for printing out more human readable names... I don't know of a way
that works for all nodes / attributes / whatever, but:
For an MObject: MObject.apiTypeStr() will give it's api type
For an MFnDependencyNode (or inherited class): MFnDependencyNode.name
() will give the maya name of the node
For an MPlug: .name(), .partialName(...), and .info() can all return
useful human-readable info
For an MFnAttribute(): .name(), .shortName() give the attribute name
