we do something similar, but the other way around. we have a global
userSetup.py and userSetup.mel which call user's local userSetup.py
and userSetup.mel.
there are a couple of things to keep in mind: only one
userSetup.py/.mel is executed per user, so make sure that the global
network path is before the user's local path in PYTHONPATH and
MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH, and make sure that maya isn't prepending any
unexpected values to these.
userSetup.py is run very early in the load process, and based on your
symptoms, it might be running before Maya.env is parsed. i'm not
really sure because we have a tool for dynamically setting our
PYTHONPATH and MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH envs at the system level, prior to
Maya launching and we don't use Maya.env at all. this makes certain
that values are set in time.
if you want to get even deeper into this, the really cool thing is you
can check out exactly where userSetup.py is being executed: it's in
your maya site-packages/maya/app/startup/basic.py:
# module: maya.app.startup.basic
#
# This module is always imported during Maya's startup. It is
imported from
# both the maya.app.startup.batch and maya.app.startup.gui scripts
#
import maya, maya.app, maya.app.commands
from maya import cmds, utils
import sys, os.path, atexit
def setupScriptPaths():
"""
Add Maya-specific directories to sys.path
"""
# Per-version prefs scripts dir (eg .../maya8.5/prefs/scripts)
#
prefsDir = cmds.internalVar( userPrefDir=True )
sys.path.append( os.path.join( prefsDir, 'scripts' ) )
# Per-version scripts dir (eg .../maya8.5/scripts)
#
scriptDir = cmds.internalVar( userScriptDir=True )
sys.path.append( os.path.dirname(scriptDir) )
# User application dir (eg .../maya/scripts)
#
appDir = cmds.internalVar( userAppDir=True )
sys.path.append( os.path.join( appDir, 'scripts' ) )
def executeUserSetup():
"""
Look for userSetup.py in the search path and execute it in the
"__main__"
namespace
"""
try:
for path in sys.path:
scriptPath = os.path.join( path, 'userSetup.py' )
if os.path.isfile( scriptPath ):
import __main__
execfile( scriptPath, __main__.__dict__ )
except Exception, e:
sys.stderr.write( "Failed to execute userSetup.py\n" )
sys.stderr.write( str( e ) )
# Set up sys.path to include Maya-specific user script directories.
setupScriptPaths()
# Set up auto-load stubs for Maya commands implemented in libraries
which are not yet loaded
maya.app.commands.processCommandList()
# Run the user's userSetup.py if it exists
executeUserSetup()
# Register code to be run on exit
atexit.register( maya.app.finalize )
# Set up string table instance for application
maya.stringTable = utils.StringTable()
that should really let you accurately troubleshoot this.
