Try this.
from maya import cmds
def functionA():
varA = False
def delayMe():
cmds.scriptJob(event = ["SceneOpened", functionA])
cmds.evalDeferred(delayMe)
By “evaling” something “deferred” you delay having something called until
Maya is loaded up, UI and all. Also don’t forget to actually import
maya.cmds as cmds won’t be available until *someone* does. So odds are
there were other scripts also called on startup that at some point imported
it ahead of your userSetup.py, which would explain why it worked those
times. Which is also the reason why - for the diligent - you should either
rename that import, or import within a function so the name doesn’t spill
over into other scripts.
def functionA():
varA = False
def delayMe():
cmds.scriptJob(event = ["SceneOpened", functionA])
def setup():
from maya import cmds
cmds.evalDeferred(delayMe)
setup()
