I'd like to run a Maya Python Script (NOT a single Python command) from within
my userSetup.mel script. The Python script is simple but does use some
Maya-specific commands. The Pythong script for testing is:
#Python script:
import maya.cmds as cmds
Returned=cmds.fileDialog(mode=1, title="Save Layer/Pass list for Miranda:")
The closest I've gotten to running it from MEL is something like:
//Within the MEL Script:
python (exec("\\Server\MyFolder\SaveLPLFile.py"));
I've tried various cnfigurations of \\, \\\\, //, etc to accomodate the
potential errors of escape characters but nothing seems to have any effect. The
python/exec command appears to run without error (to the Maya console) but the
actual script is not running because a cmds.fileDialog() never appears. Even
when there is a typo in the filename the command appears to run.....apparently
there is some long-standing bug in python that doesn't return an error message
properly under some instances.
Any alternatives that might be a better method of running a Python script from
within MEL?
