Check between 2 lists

[yann19]

I am doing a dry-run test of my code and bump into an issue...

Please see my screenshot for my very simple hierarchy as I am trying to do renaming.

This is my code:

import maya.cmds as cmds
all_grp = []
for child_grp in cmds.listRelatives("group", path=True):
    print child_grp
    all_grp.append(child_grp)


all_loc = cmds.listRelatives(cmds.ls(type='locator'), parent = True)


for grp, loc in zip(all_grp, all_loc):
    print "grp - {0}, loc - {1}".format(grp, loc)

What I am expecting to see:

# Correct
grp - sub_group1, loc - locator1
grp - sub_group3, loc - locator3
grp - sub_group2, loc - locator2

But my dry-run result says otherwise:

# Wrong
grp - sub_group1, loc - locator1
grp - sub_group3, loc - locator2
grp - sub_group2, loc - locator3

Notice that in both sub_group3 and sub_group2, I am expecting the loc to be grabbing locator3 instead of locator2 (for sub_group3)

How do I iterate such that 'loc' will checks if it belongs within the hierarchy of 'grp'?

I am trying to achieve something like this:

If loc belongs in this grp, then do this processA... 

if loc does not belong in that grp, loop thru the grp list to find its 'parent/grp' then do processA..

You are seeing this output because there is no correlation between your "all_grp" and "all_loc" lists. But you zip them together as if they are related. One is a list of groups under the named group. The other is a list of all the parents of all the locators in your seen. There is no correlation in the order of these two.

Maybe what you want is to search the hierarchy of each subgroup?

import maya.cmds as cmds

all_grp = cmds.listRelatives("group", path=True)

# Map from group to its locator decendants
mapping = {}

for grp in all_grp:
    shapes = cmds.listRelatives(grp, ad=True, type="locator")
    locs = cmds.listRelatives(shapes, parent=True)
    mapping[grp] = locs

for grp, locs in mapping.iteritems():
    print "grp - {0}, locs - {1}".format(grp, locs)
