If your goal is to rename each item in the selection to an incrementally
new name, you probably want to specify each original name as you do it:
import maya.cmds as cmds
def renameFun ():
mySel = cmds.ls(selection=True)
newName = "Test_Name"
for i, orig in enumerate(mySel):
cmds.rename(orig, "%s_%d" % (newName, i))
"enumerate" is convenient way of automatically getting an incremented
counter in addition to each item of your list. It would be equivalent do
doing something like:
i = 0
for orig in mySel:
...
i += 1
