There is a difference between the logging I/O output and the return value
of the function. When I write a function like this:
def add(x, y):
z = x + y
print "OUTPUT:", z
return z
I set the OUTPUT go to the Maya script editor, and the value 3 is returned
in the commandPort stream. But one thing to be aware of is that if your
command has multiple statements separated with a semicolon, then None will
be returned:
$ echo '1+1 ; 2+2' | nc localhost 8010
None
$ echo '2+2' | nc localhost 8010
4
So if you need to send a bunch of logic, you might need to wrap it into a
function and then have it return your output.
