[Maya-Python] issueing commands to mayapy.exe

[Juan Cristóbal Quesada]

Hi,
i would like to run several maya scripts from the command line and i would
like each script to be executed by the same mayapy.exe instance.

the intention is to run this command line from another python script via
subprocess.Popen... so the desired behaviour is to have a single instance
of the mayapy.exe subprocess (as a detached process) and issue different
scripts to this.

More generically... is it possible to run different commands to the same
process? something like:

p1 = subprocess.Popen([interpreter.exe,script1,arg1,arg2])

p2 = subprocess.Popen([interpreter.exe,script2,arg3,arg2])

and have script2 be ran by the same process as script1? (not just another
instance?)

[Maya-Python] 'module' object has no attribute

[Jason Huang]

Hi all,

I got stuck at the beginning of creating a UI interface and couldn't figure 
out what was missing.

ENV: Maya 2018 update 2, Windows 10.

script name: assetManager.py (saved in Maya 2018 scripts folder)
from Qt import QtWidgets, QtCore, QtGui
import pymel.core as pm 

class ObjectManager(QtWidgets.QDialog):
def __init__(self):

super(ObjectManager, self).__init__()

def showUI():
ui = ObjectManager()
ui.show()
return ui

In Maya script editor: (python panel)
import assetManager
reload(assetManager)

ui = assetManager.showUI()

Maya errors out: 
# Error: AttributeError: file  line 1: 'module' object has no 
attribute 'showUI' # 

I am following a course and the same code demo-ed in the course video works 
fine in teacher's Maya session.

Thanks,
Jason

guess what im asking is if there you can specify the process id for example
to the Popen method and have it use the process if it already exists or
create one if it doesnt

Re: [Maya-Python] issueing commands to mayapy.exe

[Marcus Ottosson]

Yes, when you import my_script, it is effectively “run”. So what you can do
is launch 1 instance of mayapy, and pass it a single script that imports
the others.

$ mayapy my_script.py

*my_script.py*

import other_script1import other_script2

guess what im asking is if there you can specify the process id for example
to the Popen method and have it use the process if it already exists or
create one if it doesnt

This probably isn’t what you’re looking for. Yes, you can get the process
ID from a Popen instance, but unless you devise an interprocess
communication server/client between your processes, you haven’t got that
many options left for telling the mayapy you find to run another script.

Hey Zeth, 

Sorry for the late response. Much appreciated for the attached script. It 
seems to be super handy tool. I am able to download the attachment just 
fine. Will definitely give that a go and let you know.

cheers,
Jason

[Maya-Python] writing compound attributes

[fruityfrank]

hi ! 

I'm writing a node with compound attributes, and, as always, I'm struggling 
with syntax ! 
I want my attributes to have this hierarchy : 
element
|__element[0]
|__ element[0].position
|__element[0].positionX
|__element[0].positionY
|__element[0].positionZ
|__ element[0].rotation
|__ ...
|_ element[1]
|__ etc...

(Position is an MFnNumericAttribute.createPoint() and orientation is an array, 
and my attributes are outputs)

So the declaration is done correctly, but when I need to write them with the 
databuilder, it's getting a bit more tricky :

hElement = data.outputArrayValue(Node.aElement)
bElement = hElement.builder()
and finally
for i in xrange(num_elements):
bElement.addElement(i).setFloatVector(0, 1, 0)

Obviously, I'm doing something wrong, because my node always returns 0,0,0.
I think I'm actually pointing to the parent, but don't know how to access to 
the child, from there.
Any idea ?

Thanks

(I'm using the python api2.0 for this one)

Try print(assetManager) to find out where the file actually resides on
disk, and make sure it’s the file you expect.

Re: [Maya-Python] 'module' object has no attribute

[Jason Huang]

Thanks Marcus. Just tried that and apparently it's executing from the Maya 
2017 scripts folder
print(assetManager)


If I remove the assetManager.py from Maya 2017 scripts folder, everything 
is fine.
Is there a way to tell Maya 2018 to execute from the 2018 script folder 
instead of the 2017?

Re: [Maya-Python] 'module' object has no attribute

[Marcus Ottosson]

Yes, try something like this.

import sys
sys.path.insert(0,
r"C:\Users\jason\Documents\maya\2018\scripts")import assetManager

sys.path is a list of all directories Python will look for modules, prior
to importing it for the first time. It’s a somewhat forceful way of
achieving it however, it’s likely something is not right with your setup.

Have a look at what your PYTHONPATH looks like.

import os
print(os.getenv("PYTHONPATH"))

PYTHONPATH (may) contain paths that is eventually parsed into sys.path.

If it contains anything, then that is where Python will look for your
modules. Next is having a look at your maya.env file of your user
directory, that can safely be empty. If neither of those have any content,
then something more murky is happening. Maya should be able to find scripts
from its own scripts directory without any interference. If all else fails,
remove/move your Documents\maya directory elsewhere, such that Maya can
create a new one without any customisations.

Re: [Maya-Python] 'module' object has no attribute

[Jason Huang]

Thank you for the tips Marcus. As checking the PYTHONPATH, I guess the 
problem was I have an older version of assetManager.py saved in the 2017 
scripts folder and that directory is part of the PYTHONPATH directories 
Maya will look for modules. Maya 2018 might parse the 2017 scripts 
directory and execute the older version of assetManager.py first.

cheers,
Jason

Re: [Maya-Python] 'module' object has no attribute

[Marcus Ottosson]

Ah, well you can spot the order in which directories are evaluated by
looking at the order of paths in sys.path. You should find that the 2017
folder is before the 2018 folder. This shouldn’t be Maya’s doing, but
rather something happening elsewhere. 2018 shouldn’t know about 2017, nor
any other version before it.

Ps. I use the word “should” rather than “is” because sometimes Maya simply
goes bananas. :)

Re: [Maya-Python] 'module' object has no attribute

[Jason Huang]

ha...you are right. The 2017 scripts directory indeed shows up in front of 
the 2018 one based on the order listed. Seems like my Maya 2018 is going a 
bit bananas... :) 
Now I know what's going on and a solution. Thank you, Marcus!

 Thanks Marcus. Just tried that and apparently it's executing from the

 If I remove the assetManager.py from Maya 2017 scripts folder, 
 everything is fine.
 Is there a way to tell Maya 2018 to execute from the 2018 script folder 
 instead of the 2017?

Only other one I'm aware of is one by mikros:

No idea how about it's features, etc... by the time I learned about it, we
already had an established library we were using internally.  Good to get
more alternatives out there for people starting up new pipelines (or
perhaps looking to swap out their solution for something else), though!

Re: [Maya-Python] mayapy interpreter error with Anaconda

[Mike Bourbeau]

I'm having an issue with PyCharm and autocomplete. The stubs work for 
autocompletion, but my code won't execute. I've added the stubs to the 
PYTHONPATH in my Anaconda environment as you can see in the picture. It 
looks like these stubs are causing Qt.py to break, because when I remove 
the Maya stubs everything works.

Here's my testing 
script: 
https://gist.github.com/mikebourbeauart/8689e511ce7f5fa1f75db5f39890d058 
it just needs PySide Qt.py and python 2.7

Sweet. A lot of options out there with different available formats!
Maybe people already married to a particular library will still find the
seqls CLI tool helpful if their lib doesn't come with one. It does
concurrent recursive listings of file sequences in one or more root
directories.

Thanks for that! Took a look to see what it does. It has a few minor
overlapping concepts with fileseq, but not too much. They seem to focus on
slightly different features. SequenceParser looks like it wants to deal
with telling you what is under a given directory, and the number of
consecutive frames ranges each sequence has, and stats info.
Fileseq tends to focus on expressing more complex frame range patterns,
since it is common for renders to say render on 10s, "1-100x10" . Or to
later submit a range that back fills those on-10s renders, "1-100y10". Or
even to submit a range that prioritises 10s first and then the rest,
"1-100:10".
Also, the formats map to Nuke and Katana concepts with # and @ padding,
stepping, and non contiguous ranges, "1-10,15,21,33,50-100x2".

But you are totally right. It's out there so that a new pipeline doesn't
have to yet again write this same code.

Re: [Maya-Python] 'module' object has no attribute

[zeth willie]

Hey Jason-

I've attached a script that I wrote a while back that may be useful for 
stuff like this. Put it in your scripts folder (instructions for executing 
in the header) and it will help manage your python paths (add, remove, 
reorder). The first tab lets you save/load paths for quickly loading common 
paths you use, the second tabs show the item in your python path in order 
and lets you change a few things. Nothing too fancy, but might be helpful 
for seeing what's going on.
I assume dropping a file here isn't an issue. I'm sure I have it handy 
online (somewhere other than in a big repo on github) if this doesn't work
