This seems to work fine:
mel.eval('runTimeCommand -annotation "Herrow" -category "User"
-commandLanguage "python" -command "from tools.anim import picker;
reload(picker)" customCmd2;')
And so does the python commands equivalent
cmds.runTimeCommand("customCmd", annotation="Herrow", category="User",
commandLanguage="python", command="from tools.anim import picker;
reload(picker)")
You don't need the outer parenthesis around the command string. And using
the semi-colon instead of the newline works. The python equiv is a bit
easier to manage though.
Also sometimes if you find yourself dealing with complicated nested
quotations (not really the case here, but releated), it can help to use
triple quotes:
complexString = '''some code that contains both "double quotes" and
'single quotes' all in one'''
And using the repr string formatting for combining snippets with quotes and
other snippets with quotes:
complexString = '''some code that contains both "double quotes" and
'single quotes' and also %r'''print complexString % complexString
