can you provide a full script that reproduces the problem?

i ran this on 2008ext2 without problems, can you test it on your  
machine?:


s = polySphere()[0]
s.tx.setLocked(True)
attrs = s.listAttr(locked=True)
for attr in attrs:
        attr.setLocked(False)


it's possible that the bug is in maya.OpenMaya.  to test this you can  
modify your code like so:

attrs = dup.listAttr(locked=True)
for attr in attrs:
        attr.__apimplug__().setLocked(False)

that will get you the api mplug for the attribute, with no pymel  
wrapper around it.

i'll look into the possibility of allowing greater backward  
compatibility in this regard as frustrating early adopters is a big  
concern to me.  in this version we've introduced a configuration file  
for customizing pymel, so we might be able to have a "0.7  
compatibility mode".  i would leave it off by default, but describe it  
in the docs while also underscoring that it may be removed in future  
versions.

thanks for the feedback, it's very much appreciated.
