@Marcus that is a very interesting looking script. I'm going to give it a try together with Dreampie. Thanks guys :)
I'm taking a few Python courses on Coursera and as strange as it sound I'm using Maya script editor as my main IDE haha... I've also been using PyCharm when I'm scripting a complete stand-alone apps and although it's not quite a live environment, it works great and I enjoy it a lot. Still trying to learn more about debugging.
