Thanks again Chad: Got it working in both versions, using Maya.env to point the way. That was easy. The source of my uncertainty about setting the 2011 pymel dir is this: After reading the install instructions, I concluded that there were 2 potential places to tell Maya where pymel is located: 1) Maya.env and 2) System env When I decided to setup PyMEL for 2010, I wanted to use a single install, so I looked at the 2011 Maya.env and the system env to see where PyMEL was installed, but neither contained a PYTHONPATH var. Since PyMEL was installed and working w/2011, I assumed that PYTHONPATH for 2011 must be hardwired or buried somewhere where I wouldn't find it. Based on that research, it was not clear to me how I could be certain that I could change the PYTHONPATH for 2011 (2011 is not mentioned in the docs and it is the first to include PyMEL in the install). Thus my attempt to point 2010 to the PyMEL install in C: \Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2011\Python... This led to an install problem which led to my request for assistance on this forum. Your documentation is extremely well written (as good as any I've encountered). I'm not a professional programmer, so I've gained some insight just reading your higher level explanations like "Why PyMEL" and "Python in Maya Done Right" I would still point out that, while I trust your writing and programming, I still don't know beyond a shadow of a doubt that 2010 and 2011 are using 1.0.2. Is there a command to query the pymel version? Thanks again for your tremendous effort in creating PyMEL for the Maya community. I wish Autodesk were as committed to quality as you are. -- http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya
