Python Maya Coding: Help!

tmarshall3d

Hey everyone,

Stupid easy, but I can't get it to work
I'm trying to import maya.cmds as maya USING the userSetup.py file. I'm in the right file path {C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\maya\2016\scripts}, but it won't load when maya opens up (tried maya.ls(sl = True))

Can anyone help?

You're trying to import maya.cmds into userSetup.py, correct ?

Yes, I know it's super simple but I can't seem to get it to load on (or delayed) maya startup. I want to load maya.cmds as maya.. Tried just about everything but it doesn't want to work..

I have this set in my usersetup.py and it seems to work fine:
import maya.cmds as cmds

If you want to execute something after the UI loads and other maya startups, you can wrap it in evalDeffered (http://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2017/ENU/Maya-Tech-Docs/CommandsPython/evalDeferred.html)
