Hi Chad, David Hunt here from Bungie. Our Maya Tech crew here has had a long time interest in Pymel as you well know from our seasoned Python developer, Seth Gibson. Outside of work we have been prototyping with it for some time now and really love what we have seen so far. We will consider integrating it formally at a time when it would be a safe transition for our production here.
