Re: [Maya-Python] button commands

Make sure you are passing the method object and not actually calling it: cmds.button(myButton, e = 1, command = self.process) You were doing this: self.process() On May 5, 2013, at 10:54 AM, Todd Widup wrote: > using the CMDS commands for a quick UI > > when I have this in my code : > >

Re: [Maya-Python] Extracting information from a Massive Simulation File (asf file)

You can use aString.startswith("BEGIN") to test if a string object starts with a prefix. But I decided to just write a full example, with comments: http://pastebin.com/MEDTr5A0 This example will open the file, and parse every single agent into a final dictionary object. Here is a second versio

Re: [Maya-Python] Extracting information from a Massive Simulation File (asf file)

I'm not sure I understand the problem with the examples I gave, in achieving what you want. If you are concerned with being able to retrieve the 'b_Waist_JNT' attribute, and that it could appear at any point within each agent block, why not just parse the file, and get the attribute you want for

Re: [Maya-Python] PyQt Maya memory issues

I use that same method in the current asset management software I am developing. But some of the things that are different for me... I'm not using a tree view to load the data. My thumbnails come into a paged grid view and pages are created and destroyed between queries. I also wrote my own cop

Re: [Maya-Python] Help with Print

Seems like you are dealing with a list of pymel nodes. So you would need to take an item from the list, and then get its name: aItem = items[0] print aItem.name() On Mon, May 13, 2013 at 1:52 PM, Ben Kamakorewa wrote: > > I need to get just "Sandbag_Deformer_02_CL_Handle" > > but when i print

Any specific reason you are avoiding the "os" and "shutil" modules for joining paths properly, and doing arbitrary file path copies? On May 13, 2013 10:25 PM, "Ævar Guðmundsson" wrote: > Hey Matty! > Indeed long time, and too long even. All is well and jolly in London > while the weather is t

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: PyQt Maya memory issues

Closing the window won't destroy the actual object by default. There are window flags that can make that happen. But all you need to do is call myWindow.deleteLater() to destroy the Qt object. It will delete all of the child objects in turn. So make sure you properly set the parent attribute of chi

Re: [Maya-Python] My personal workspace

I admit I didn't read too much into what you are doing, other than catching the part about wanting to save a backup copy of a file to another location, but using only Maya's cmds module or python builtins. So I was curious why you want to avoid using os.path.join for joining path components, and sh

Re: [Maya-Python] My personal workspace

This is definitely quite an in-depth discussion, on the topic of joining paths and copying files :-) While str.join() is extremely useful, I tend to avoid joining paths on a explicit path separator and defer to os.path.join, as it decides the path separator and also automatically handles the c

@Ben - I think you meant to suggest "my_uNkle_bobo" ? He was creating a folder with spaces, but spaces should pretty much always be replaced with underscore for portability General: Normally you would move that version number to the root of the module: __version__ = '0.1.2' That way you ca

Re: [Maya-Python] Error # UnboundLocalError: - what went wrong?

Its this bit here: if isinstance(RGBname(str,unicode)): At first glance it confused me because you are using upper case for a local variable RGBname, which is usually reserved for classes, so it seemed like you were making an instance of a class. But really, the syntax of the isinstance call

Re: [Maya-Python] Error # UnboundLocalError: - what went wrong?

Is there some special reason to use a comma-seperated single string to pass arguments to your function? Does it not suffice to use more than one argument, or a list? def foo(a, b) print a, b def foo(abList) a, b = abList print a,b On May 19, 2013, at 9:00 AM, Daz wrote: > Hey

Re: [Maya-Python] Remembering the script editor history file.

Testing your commands on osx actually crashed Maya while its starting up. I assume what you would need is to schedule the call to be made once Maya has finished loading and returns to its idle state: ## userSetup.py ## import maya.cmds as cmds import maya.utils as mutils def hist_callback():

Just a random high-level suggestion using QTableWidget, since its easier to talk about that... You could use QTableWidget.setCellWidget() to set QProgressBars into your table, and
