Here is something fun to try (this only works on linux as far as I know). I
am sure there are alternative ways on other platforms.
# From the maya script editor,
# get the window ID of the persp panel
import maya.OpenMayaUI as mui
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
import sip
w = sip.wrapinstance(long(mui.MQtUtil.findControl("modelPanel4")),
QtGui.QWidget)
print w.winId()
# 96470814
# ---------------------------------
# Then in some standalone script or python terminal,
# hijack it into your own widget ##
container = QtGui.QX11EmbedContainer()
container.show()
# Use the window ID of the modelPanel4
container.embedClient(96470814)
You could probably launch an subprocess instance of maya in a full gui
session, hidden, and steal the windows :-)
