Hi Chad, well I have got ipymel working, but only by re-writing the ipymel file like so:
#!/usr/bin/env mayapy # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import IPython.Shell s = IPython.Shell.start() import pymel.tools.ipymel s.mainloop() I cut out the the info section, as I was having problems with the way my comp was seeing the quotes, as well as the problems with line ends... I can't tell why I am having this problem, I tried downloading the files on another computer, where they appear fine, but when I copy the file in question to the dev machine... no go. Unfortunately I can't install on the other machine and try them out for real. BTW I had a good look through the other files, and found the same problem with the scriptEditor.mel, no other files seem to be affected though. I wonder what text editor you use to create these files? I would at this point have assumed it was just me, if not for the guy who started this thread, who obviously had the same trouble. So, currently mysterious, but at least I'm up and running, hopefully it might help anyone else with the same probs. Thanks again Dave.
