Re: [Maya-Python] Re: commandPort stack trace/errors
Have you looked at the code from my MayaSublime plugin for SublimeText? If I remember, it was one of these similar questions about talking to maya over a commandPort that prompted me to write the plugin as an example: https://github.com/justinfx/MayaSublime/blob/master/MayaSublime.py I don't handle reading back from the connection, but I do have it handling exceptions in the script editor On Mon, Jan 20, 2014 at 11:13 PM, James Morrison james_gegene_morri...@yahoo.com wrote: hi, just wondering if this was ever figured out. i got sublime sending commands..but when i try to do stuff like getAttr there's no feedback (# Result: ) that comes back...i'm looking around for an alternative to the charcoal editor...already have sublime so not looking to spend more $ on a new editor..:( cheers.

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: commandPort result size
I think you are misunderstanding how the recv method works. You do not have to know ahead of time exactly how many bytes are going to be returned to you. You just need to tell it how many bytes to try and read. You may get back less... import socket s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect((localhost, 12121)) s.sendall(cmds.ls()) ret = s.recv(4096) print len(ret) # 1305 Maya is not going to send you more than 4096 bytes for a response, otherwise that will be an error instead. So you have the option of reading the entire 4096 at once, or reading multiple times until you get back less than what you asked for... import cStringIO SIZE = 1024 EOF = '\x00' buf = cStringIO.StringIO() while True: data = s.recv(SIZE) if not data or data == EOF: break buf.write(data) if len(data) SIZE: break print buf.getvalue() But honestly, if the max buffer size of your commandPort is 4096, then its probably not that bad to just read all 4096 bytes right away, since you are most likely building a data structure out of the results anyways in memory. Unless of course you are writing the bytes to a file and you set your commandPort buffer to something huge for large return values.

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: commandPort
Maya's command port is a special type of interface designed with the sole purpose of executing mel code. It is possible to use a generic python socket in Maya for whatever purpose you need. What comes through that socket is just data and Maya doesn't know anything about it. It would be your code that would decide how to handle it: store it, execute it if it's a command, etc. This approach is quite a bit more complex than simply opening the standard Maya command port, but it also offers a great deal of flexibility with nearly limitless potential. We use this method to communicate with our tool server. The tool server manages a lot of non-Maya specific data that is useful to our Maya tools: project locations, project settings, asset library data, etc. We pickle this data and send it from the tool server to Maya. From Maya we can make requests to the tool server as we need. We also send python code and execute it directly. Shaun, I know this is more than you were originally asking, but I wanted to make clear that there are a great many possibilities depending on your particular need. If you just need to be able to run python code then you may want to look into eclipse as an IDE. There are a lot of options there. -Judah On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 8:34 AM, AK Eric warp...@sbcglobal.net wrote: To my knowledge, Maya intercepts incoming commands as mel, irregardless of send methodology.
