I'm trying to set up an automated asset testing service on a server. We use TeamCity to run a python script, which in turn imports pymel and starts a maya shell to perform the asset testing.
TeamCity runs the python script under a Windows Service (which has limited access to windows resources) , and it appears that something about this method causes the "import pymel.core as pm" command to hang mayapy.exe. Running the python script on the server from the command line works fine. Any ideas what pymel could be accessing that wouldn't work when run as part of a service? -- http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya
