Yes, that is also a way to do it, but I find it hard to manage when dealing with lots of dependencies, because it often means you have to go through all your altered files at the end and remove the reloads ( because you don't really want them released to your team as it just slows things down ). I guess it depends a lot on your module dependency complexity.
As a side note, if you do do that, you can skip the final import and do this : import m1 m1 = reload(m1) From: python_inside_maya@googlegroups.com [mailto:python_inside_maya@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of kimmo ala-ojala Sent: 30 August 2012 12:58 To: python_inside_maya@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [Maya-Python] How to get the updated module everytime in maya import m1 reload(m1) import m1 # imports the module # reloads the module # imports the reloaded module On 30.8.2012 14:15, Mike Malinowski (LIONHEAD) wrote: We have a 'tech deployment tool' that we run within Maya for this. Essentially it's a python script which runs through all our tech directly and looks for python modules, for each one it will then attempt to reload the module. It will also attempt to resource mel files, and unload/sync/reload mll plugins. The downside is that as your toolset grows the process becomes a little slower, which is a hassle when you know you have only altered x amount of files, but it does ensure you're working with the latest versions from the point you called the script. This is then implemented into our menu so our TA's can update all plugins on demand whilst they develop. This is only triggered manually by our TA's, so once we release our tools there is no overhead for our Art/Animation teams, except on the initial load of Maya where all the tools are initially sourced.

How can i overcome this...? Can any one give any idea. -- view archives: http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya change your subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya/subscribe -- view archives: http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya change your subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya/subscribe -- view archives: http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya change your subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya/subscribe -- view archives: http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya change your subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya/subscribe
