Maya is an application that contains an embedded Python environment. This
Python environment is persistent for the life of the Maya process. Things
you do in the global python namespace are persistent.
So if I understand your question, you are asking about one script importing
some other module, accessing a class, and changing properties on that
class. And whether those changes are persistent for the life of the Maya
process? Yes, when you import a module and access a class, over and over,
the import mechanism in Python would be returning the already loaded module
from sys.modules. So you should end up seeing the same Class object over
and over again. I'm referring to the normal workflow and not what can
happen if you get into forcing reloads and using the underlying python
import functionality directly. But lets leave all that behavior aside.
Normally, when you do this:
from aModule import MyClass
You should end up with the same MyClass for each subsequent invocation.
But honestly, this behavior can be the same in a python-based web server,
depending on how you host the application (uwsgi, fci, cgi, ..) and how
many instances are running. It just depends on if two requests his the same
running instance or not.
