If you are using a 32-bit python, then that is DEFINITELY a problem. I made the same silly mistake at one point. =)
However, as Chad points out, you should also use the same version number as maya (2.6.1) - while using a different one MAY seem to start up ok, you could get random errors / incompatibilities / inconsistencies that crop up. And you should indeed be getting the amd64 version (http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.1/python-2.6.1.amd64.msi) - unless you're one of the 6 people out there who still uses an Itanium processor. =) - Paul On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 7:30 AM, Chad Dombrova <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Oct 14, 2009, at 5:49 AM, rudi wrote: > >> >> Hi, >> I don´t have any problem using pymel with maya´s python interpreter.I >> run into that error when I am >> using IDLE.I installed everything as I did with previous version >> following the docs.Previously I used maya 2009 and python 2.5 with xp >> 64 bits,and everything was OK. >> So the problem must be like Paul said,that I am using a 32 bit python >> or what you said. >> mayapy is version 2.6.1,but when I tryed to download this python >> version it redirected me to the 2.6.3 version.Should I have exactle >> version 2.6.1?? >> Thanks for the quick replys.I´ll try again when I get home. >> >> R > > yes, you ned the exact same version. sometimes even down to the build > number. and it needs to be the same bitness. > > here's what's available: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.1/ > > not sure if the amd64 will work for you. your best bet is probably to > try to setup idle to use mayapy. > > >> On 14 oct, 01:58, chadrik <[email protected]> wrote: >>> if you want to use an external python interpreter to import pymel or >>> the maya package, you must use the same exact version as comes with >>> maya, in your case 2.6.1. however, i don't recommend it. use >>> mayapy.exe instead and set it up as it recommends in the docs. >>> >>> -chad >>> >>> On Oct 13, 2009, at 1:03 PM, rudi wrote: >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>>> Hi,I need some help with pymel instalation >>>> I just installed vista 64bits (sp2),maya 2010 64 bits ,python >>>> 2.6.3,and pymel 0.9.2.I am getting that when I try to import pymel >>>> My environment variable PYTHONPATH is C:\Program Files\Autodesk >>>> \Maya2010\Python\Lib\site-packages >>>> and MAYA_LOCATION is C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2010 >>>> Isn´t that rigth? >>>> Thx >>> >>>> Traceback (most recent call last): >>>> File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module> >>>> import pymel >>>> File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pymel-0.9.2-py2.6.egg\pymel >>>> \__init__.py", line 1468, in <module> >>>> import mayahook >>>> File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pymel-0.9.2-py2.6.egg\pymel >>>> \mayahook\__init__.py", line 5, in <module> >>>> from mayautils import * >>>> File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pymel-0.9.2-py2.6.egg\pymel >>>> \mayahook\mayautils.py", line 8, in <module> >>>> import plogging >>>> File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pymel-0.9.2-py2.6.egg\pymel >>>> \mayahook\plogging.py", line 3, in <module> >>>> from maya.OpenMaya import MGlobal, MEventMessage, MMessage >>>> File "C:\buildforge\Maya_2010_Win64_Build\build\wrk\optim\runTime >>>> \Python\Lib\site-packages\maya\OpenMaya.py", line 7, in <module> >>>> ImportError: DLL load failed: No se puede encontrar el módulo >>>> especificado.- Ocultar texto de la cita - >>> >>> - Mostrar texto de la cita - >> > > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
