i just posted version 0.9.1 on the pymel website:
http://pymel.googlecode.com/files/pymel-0.9.1b1.zip
the change log is below. the biggest change is that we've adopted a
more standard release layout and added a support for installing via
easy_install/setuptools and the standard "setup.py". oh, and we've
jumped on the sphinx bandwagon for our documentation. sphinx is still
not quite plug-and-play for API documentation, but it's a lot prettier
than epydoc, provides more control, and is searchable!
for those of you following along on subversion, you may have noticed
fewer commits lately. that is because we're switching to a
distributed version control system: currently we're using git and
github, but mercurial is also an option. git has proved quite capable
and is working fine on windows, my main complaint is the lack of a
good eclipse plugin. aside from the much nicer branching workflow for
the core pymel developers, the advantage of using a DVCS with a web
host like git+github or mercurial+bitbucket is that anyone can easily
create their own "fork" of pymel and host it right alongside the main
repository. we can then track your progress and pull your changes
into the main repo. think of it as low-commitment cooperation.
google code will soon be providing support for mercurial, so we're
waiting for that update before we make our final decision, but from
what i can tell so far, it does not look like google code will be
adopting the "fork your own" philosophy of github.
i'm releasing 0.9.1 as a beta for a few days just to make sure that
everything is ok since this is a pretty big change for a point
release. let me know how it goes.
Changelog:
Version 0.9.1
BUGFIXES
fixed a bug in undoInfo
fixed a bug that was breaking mel2py
fixed a bug with logging that was locking it to INFO level. INFO is
now the default, but it can be properly changed in pymel.conf
fixed input casting of datatypes.Time
bug fixes in error handling within path class
fixed issue 65: DependencyNode.listAttr broken
made sure NameParse objects are stringified before fed to
MFnDependencyNode.findPlug
added a few more reserved types so as to avoid creating them, which
can lead to crashes on some setups
fixed issue 66 where nodes could be created twice when using PEP8
style class instantiation: pm.Locator()
path.walk* now properly prunes all directories below those that do not
match the supplied patterns.
maya bug workaround: changed pluginLoaded callback to API-based for
2009 and later
fixed bug in hasAttr
removed bug in arrays.dot where incorrect duplicate definition was
taking precedence
fixed bug in PyNode.__ne__ when comparing DagNodes to DependNodes
fixed Issue 72: cannot select lists of components
fixed bug with startup on windows (backslashes not escaped)
fix for Component('pCube1.vtx[3]')
fix for nurbsCurveCV('nurbsCircle1') failing
pythonToMel and Mel now properly convert datatypes.Vectors to mel
vectors ( <<0,0,0>> ). MelGlobals now returns datatypes.Vectors
fixed bug with duplicate(addShape=1)
fixed a bug where selectionSets can't be selected
fixed a bug with sets() when it returns lists
fixed issue 76, where non-unique joint names were returned by
pymel.joint and thus were unsuccessfully cast to nodetypes.Joint
fixed issue 80, regading incorrect association of nodetypes.File with
cmds.file.
CHANGES AND ADDITIONS
new feature: virtual subclasses. allows the user to create their own
subclasses which are returned by PyNode
added v2009sp1 and v2009sp1a to Version
changed MelGlobals.__getitem__ to raise a KeyError on missing global,
instead of a typeError
util.path now supports regular expression filtering in addition to
globs.
moved moduleDir from util to mayahook since it is explicitly for
pymel.
ensured that all default plugins are loaded when creating the api
cache so that we can avoid calculating those each time the plugins are
loaded
added a new `errors` flag to recurseMayaScriptPath for controlling how
to handle directory walking errors: warn or ignore
moved pwarnings to ensure that pymel.util is completely separated from
maya
adding new sphinx documentation. modifying source docstrings where
necessary.
setParent now allows 'None' arg to specify world parent
adopted a standard setuptools-compliant package layout, with pymel as
a subdirectory of the top level
forced line numbers on for Mel.eval
changed ipymel to use $MAYA_LOCATION to find mayapy instead of /usr/
bin/env
changed datatypes examples to demonstrate the necessity to include a
namespace
added groupname, get_groupname, and chgrp to path class for dealing
with unix groups as strings instead of as gid's
added alias path.Path for path.path so as to follow PEP8
added a new option to pymel.conf to allow disabling of mel
initialization in standalone mode.
added ability to set logger verbosity using PYMEL_LOGLEVEL environment
variable. great for quick testing.
