If what you're looking for is to get the objects listed in the namespace,
try the following:
cmds.namespaceInfo(":ANIMAL1APE01", listNamespace=True)
This will return a list of objects in the ANIMAL1APE01 namespace.
For a listing of the namespaces that maya knows about, try this:
cmds.namespaceInfo(":", listOnlyNamespaces=True)
Other than that, we really need to know exactly what you're trying to
do--namespaces have lots of tricky options, and due to Maya's
less-than-pythonic string-based implementation, very few of them are
pretty. The few things I can point out, without knowing exactly what
you're trying to do, is that you have to specify namespaces
explicitly--that is, you must preface the name of the namespace with ":" to
indicate that it is relative to the root namespace. You should also ensure
that you're currently in the root namespace--Maya keeps track of the
"current" namespace, and if you don't use absolute addressing, it will
search relative to the current. So, if you didn't use the colon (":") at
the beginning of the namespace, and ANIMAL1APE01 was the current namespace,
then it would be looking for a child namespace of ANIMAL1APE01, which would
actually be a child of ANIMAL1APE01. The absolute addressing would solve
this issue.
Hope that helps, if you can clarify your needs, I can probably help get
something more useful together.
