Hey all - I was wondering if anyone here knew of a way to query the
'type' (ie, similar to what getAttr('foo.bar', type=True) would
return) of an attribute, for ANY attribute. Specifically, I can't
seem to find ANY way to query the type of multi-compound attribute's
children, when the multi does not have any indices created yet.
To see what I mean:
import maya.cmds as cmds
def getType(node):
print "%-50s :" % node,
try:
print cmds.getAttr(node, type=True)
except Exception:
print "<ERROR>"
getType(u'persp.publishedNodeInfo')
getType(u'persp.publishedNodeInfo.publishedNode')
getType(u'persp.publishedNode')
getType(u'persp.publishedNodeInfo[-1].publishedNode')
getType(u'persp.instObjGroups.objectGroups')
getType(u'persp.instObjGroups.objectGroups.objectGroupId')
getType(u'persp.objectGroupId')
Is there another way to query the type of an attribute other than
getAttr? attributeQuery doesn't seem to have any relevant flags, and I
couldn't find any way to access this information from the API.
Any ideas?
- Paul
