On OSX it returns None the first time you call it, but then it
works...
this is a bug in Maya that is fixed when using pymel 1.0. autodesk
implemented a lazy loading scheme for their libraries, so certain
libraries are not initialized until the commands that rely on them are
used. only problem is, they left out the return statement in the
dummy/loader function, so the first time the command runs it doesn't
return it's result. it's easily patched. the code in
maya.app.commands looksl like this:
def __makeDummyFunc( command, library ):
def dummyFunc( *args, **keywords ):
maya.cmds.dynamicLoad( library )
maya.cmds.__dict__[command]( *args, **keywords )
dummyFunc.__doc__ = "fake docstring"
return dummyFunc
but it should look like this:
def __makeDummyFunc( command, library ):
def dummyFunc( *args, **keywords ):
maya.cmds.dynamicLoad( library )
return maya.cmds.__dict__[command]( *args, **keywords )
dummyFunc.__doc__ = "fake docstring"
return dummyFunc
