On linux/osx mayapy is just a shell script that bootstraps the process to start Maya's bundled python interpreter. This is basically a normal Python, but they can control what version they provide and ship an internal site-packages with it.
On Windows, I don't remember if it's a bat or exe. You should be able to use Maya's python interpreter from standalone shell scripts outside Maya. But it's usually better to install external libraries into an external PYTHONPATH, and then just add that path to Maya using Maya.env or userSetup.py Justin On Mon, Sep 25, 2017, 9:04 PM illunara <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everybody > What's the difference of maya's Python ( Like mayapy as example) and > standalone python(https://www.python.org)? > I tried to install Pip using mayapy and install other package as well, but > nothing happend ( Which had been successed using standalone Python) > This is kind of vague, and i don't know where to start, anybody have > knowledge about this? > > It would be great if i can using mayapy to access other part of window's > system without install standalone Python. > Thanks > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/65c90116-31c9-4d56-9d8d-ee4052fbc933%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/65c90116-31c9-4d56-9d8d-ee4052fbc933%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
