The problem was I had
C:\PRODUCTION\SCRIPTS\python\userSetup.py
containing
from pymel import *
import sys
sys.path.append('C:/PRODUCTION/SCRIPTS/python')
which was seen by both 2009 and 2011. Since 2009 was using PyMel .9,
and Pymel 1.0 works with "import py.core as py", it was keeping 2011
from opening.
I'm now only using userSetup.py in
C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\My Documents\maya\<Version>
rather than having both Maya versions use the same userSetup file.
On the whole, loving PyMel in 2011. Especially with the new script
editor, which helps catch a lot of mistakes.
