For some reason, after months of everything being fine, pymel
mysteriously is broken in command line mode for me.
"mayaBatch -prompt", will give the following results:
mel: python "import pymel"
Error: line 1: 'module' object has no attribute 'util'
# Traceback (most recent call last):
# File "<maya console>", line 1, in <module>

Some stats:
Vista (64bit but using the 32bit version of Maya because of other
plugins)
Maya2008
Pymel 0.9.3
I have also tried using mayapy, which is able to import pymel, but my
other scripts aren't able to load pymel; it is very confusing.
To make it even more confusing, in Jan of this year (2010) we upgraded
from 0.7.8 to 0.9.2 and everything continued to work till a few weeks
ago some machines stopped while others continued just fine till now.
Something happened and no machine can run in batch mode now.
I put together a fresh machine a couple weeks ago and found that it
was unable to run in batch while my main dev machine continued to be
able to run in batch. All the maya scripts and such are in source
control so I synced back till I had the fresh machine running in batch
mode. I then crept up till it couldn't run and found that magic
moment was when we finally upgraded pymel in Jan. This means that my
dev machine was able to function mysteriously for over 7 months.
In all of this, the regular Maya version has worked, and continues to
work perfectly.
The last notable bit of strangeness is that sys.modules HAS pymel.util
(and others) so I can do this:
python "sys.modules['pymel.util'].capitalize('wtf')"
Result: Wtf
But I can't do 'python "import pymel"' or any variant of that.
Has anyone seen anything like this or have any ideas on how to figure
out what is going on?
