I did not realize that I used a function from Python 2.6 so the scriptManager does not work on versions of before Maya 2010. I used a few functions from the pydoc module to get the info normally shown by the help function. In hind site I should have just parsed the files myself but I was trying to use Python's built in functions. Maybe there is a better way.
This is what I did to get the help documentation: import pydoc moduleName = 'math' moduleFunc = 'acos' mod = __import__(moduleName) func = mod.__dict__[moduleFunc] helpStr = pydoc.render_doc(func) helpStr = pydoc.plain(helpStr) print helpStr Ryan Character TD Naughtydog On Mar 16, 10:19 am, Martin La Land Romero <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks man! > > Martin > > On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 8:17 AM, Adam Mechtley <[email protected]>wrote: > > > > > Hey folks, > > > I posted this over on tech-artists.org, but I figured some here may also > > find it interesting.
