Okay I see, I think what I am wondering then is if there is a way to clear everything that was done, such as a global variable. Its not just one script thats doing it, but the best example I can give is when the tooltip is activated. Typing "cmd" does not give any options, but if I run "import maya.cmds as cmds", the even when I create a new python tab, "cmd" brings up the cmds option. I need to restart to get rid of the cmds option under tooltip. So the question is, how can restart the python environment without restarting Maya?
