Hi Justin, I have managed to get it to work by using the absolute path but with those commands saved in another .py file within the list of python paths that MAYA is reading from.. As such, my python file is as follows: import subprocess
def main(): process = subprocess.Popen(['/bin/meld'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) stdout, stderr = process.communicate() One more question though - while I am able to execute my program, I could not work on my current maya session until this `meld` tool is closed. Wondering if this is a common thing when trying to run an external program in Maya, or if it is possible to get `meld` to work in the background? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
