PyMel is probably the most straightforward because you can use the API
command influenceObjects and then read the weightList from an attribute.
Using the API would be much faster if your rig is complex.
Using cmds...I'm sure someone else knows how to get the influence objects
from an attr. It's not something I've ever had to do.
Here's a PyMel example. With a couple of verts on a cylinder selected:
import pymel.core as pm
vert = pm.selected()[0]
mesh = vert.node()
sc = mesh.listHistory(type='skinCluster')[0] # Note this is not a great way
to get skinClusters in general, but it works in simple situations.
infs = sc.influenceObjects()
print vert
print mesh
print sc
vId = vert.currentItemIndex()
print 'Vert:', vId
for jId in xrange(sc.numInfluenceObjects()):
print '\t', infs[jId], pm.getAttr(sc.weightList[vId].weights[jId])
prints
pCylinderShape1.vtx[16:17]
pCylinderShape1
skinCluster1
[nt.Joint(u'joint1'), nt.Joint(u'joint2'), nt.Joint(u'joint3'), nt.Joint(u
'joint4')]
[0, 1, 2, 3]
Vert: 16
joint1 0.0163752022203
joint2 0.933793770143
joint3 0.0495594248894
joint4 0.000271602747264
