The PYTHONPATH environment variable is within the Maya.env file with a
absolute path.
python("import sys;sys.path.append('C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages');
The above line, is the only line in my userSetup.mel file, when Maya starts
shouldn't it read that line, find the Python Modules, then I simply run any
Python script and the script runs, it sounds that simple but it's not
working out that simple ?
