gives you a single line python server. Since it's single line, it's fairly useless. What we do: if you have control over the application that's sending the code, you can conspire to send the Mel command: python "(your python code)" You'll have to quote your new-lines (\n), tabs (\t) and \ characters (\\). Obviously this doesn't work if you are just using telnet. Otherwise, you can exploit the fact that you have Python already running in Maya to write any kind of server there you like —(for example, an XMLRPC server, see: http://openendedgroup.com/field/wiki/MayaIntegration ) Marc. > > > > > > > *From:* [email protected] [mailto: > [email protected]] *On Behalf Of *Judah Baron > *Sent:* Monday, February 01, 2010 8:41 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: [Maya-Python] commandPort > > > > You could create your own socket, rather than using the command port.
