[Maya-Python] Re: Supporting pymel in Maya 2009 and 2011
Does that require manually deleting the pymel folder from the maya 2011 install folder?

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: Supporting pymel in Maya 2009 and 2011
We haven't, we're using sitecustomize.py to insert a new system path and import pymel, it's all explained in the docs. So you won't need to remove any default Maya folders. The problem is that sitecustomize needs to be in the Maya/Python/Libs/SitePackages folder on every machine. We have an Art Pipelines installer that manages that copy. If this is wrong then I'd like to know if sitecustomize can be run from a different location. We have multiple teams on different branches of code. Each team will be locked on that branch (unless they need to take a new release) and therefore each branch could have a different pymel version. I believe we had 4 different version of pymel at one time. We only have 1 now. But the sitecustomize method worked for us.

Does that require manually deleting the pymel folder from the maya 2011 install folder? nope. just follow the installation instructions to make sure that the external pymel is found on the pythonpath before the internal one. -chad -- http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya
Re: [Maya-Python] Re: Supporting pymel in Maya 2009 and 2011
David,
We use a sitecustomize.py that simply lives in one of our python system
paths and it works fine.
It sounds like we are doing something similar. Here's an excerpt from our
file that pushes the pymel path to the head to ensure the maya over-ride
works properly:
if os.environ.has_key('PYMELPATH'):
if os.environ['PYMELPATH'] in sys.path:
sys.path.remove( os.environ['PYMELPATH'] )
sys.path.insert(0, os.environ['PYMELPATH'] )
