well, that's kind of a tricky question. creating the missing nodes
would be very difficult because we would have to essentially recreate
a maya ascii/binary scene loader: pickle all attribute values and
connections and attempt to recreate them if missing. IMHO this would
be too complex
I don't use pymel, but I do use Python and pickle in Maya ;) From
your above example, it looks like x is a tuple with two strings in
it? Or is pymel storing more complex objects as the name
representation of the nodes rather than strings? I'm not sure why
this would choke (if it's just a tuple
PyNodes already have special code to ensure they will pickle, and they
will correctly unpickle as long as the maya objects in the pickle
exist in the current scene. the question is, what should pymel do if
the node/attr does not exist?
Ah-hah! That's cool.
So, I actually ran into a
