Hello,
A basic question that has me stumped. I'm using userSetup.py and I'm
confused about scope. I've probably overcomplicated a simple task .. but
I'm trying to understand how userSetup.py works so I've put part of my
setup into a module.
userSetup.py contains the following:
import maya.cmds as cmds
print "--- Executing C:\Users\ben.c\Documents\maya\scripts\userSetup.py ---"
import eclipseConnection
eclipseConnection.startUpFunc()
eclipseConnection.py contains:
import maya.utils as utils
def startUpFunc():
print "--- Executing
C:\Users\ben.c\Documents\maya\scripts\eclipseConnection.py ---"
if cmds.commandPort(':7720', q=True) !=1:
cmds.commandPort(n=':7720', eo = False, nr = True)
Firstly I don't ever see the result of the print commands on startup. Is
this normal ?
Secondly and more importantly I find that when troubleshooting, if I
manually execute eclipseConnection.startUpFunc() after startup, Maya
reports:
# Error: NameError: global name 'cmds' is not defined #
Now I would expect cmds to work fine within eclipseConnection as if I type
'cmds' manually I see:
# Result: <module 'maya.cmds' from 'C:\Program
Files\Autodesk\Maya2011\Python\lib\site-packages\maya\cmds\__init__.py'> #
My questions are .. why don't I see the result of the print commands on
startup (even though I know userSetup.py is running as cmds exists), and
secondly why can't my module access maya.cmds even though I believe it be
defined globablly ?
thank you
ben
