Just one thing to note about the cmds vs the pymel approach. If you have at least a few curves, the performance difference is pretty big:
* in Maya 2015 on a Macbook Pro # curves cmds pymel 500 0.02s 0.12s 1000 0.03s 0.25s 5000 0.16s 1.33s 10000 0.33s 2.48s 20000 0.69s 5.32s A lot more overhead on creating all the PyNodes in a loop. Especially if you don't need the PyNodes and just the string names.
