hi zero, we know this ordering can be a bit tricky to accomplish for those who are not using the "easy" install method, especially on a windows machine where PYTHONPATH might be set as a system environment variable that the user cannot override. to help out in these situations, we've added a third install option to the 1.0 docs, for those who have write access to their maya site-packages directory: http://www.luma-pictures.com/tools/pymel/docs/1.0/install.html#manual-method-3-pymel-pth
let us know if that does not solve the problem. there is another variant to this 3rd option that we haven't fully explored, but it would only work for maya 2010, since .pth location restrictions were relaxed in python 2.6. -chad On Jan 20, 2010, at 10:34 PM, Count Zer0 wrote: > Posting for Drew Skillman of DoubleFine from tech-artists.org forum: > > "We're running into some trouble with the new deployment scheme for > 1.0.
