Hey Ben, I had a couple questions...
You make a couple references to the preference of switching to the system PyQt4 versus the Maya PySide, for reasons of it being easier to develop without a Maya-specific PySide. I wasn't clear on this statement. I don't believe there is anything special about the Maya PySide, other than it being bundled. Could you just as easily install PySide on your system, the same as you would PyQt, and then be able to use PySide inside and outside of Maya? This isn't really a comment on preference or anything. I just didn't get the part about it being easier to develop, or that anything was special about PySide in Maya. Also, as a non-windows user that hasn't seen batch file programming in many many years, I was a bit unclear as to the behavior of the built PYTHONPATH at runtime. I figure this is similar to someone who uses windows and knows nothing about batch file syntax. Is that a hard-coded SHOW variable in the batch file, or does it somehow derive from external sources? Or is the goal that you would have different batch files for different shows, and the only externally derived bit is the CGROOT? I'm trying to map this to my osx/linux env experience, where you would launch Maya from a shell, with a wrapper that would pick up your shell environment. Such as, starting from a shell that is set to SHOW=MyShow, in which case that Maya session would be launched under those settings. Maybe it might help to describe the behavior of the variables and the intended usage of the batch file? As in, how would you end up using it across 3 shows?
