MItDependencyNodes is gone in API 2.0?

[Kthulhu Fhtagn]

Hello, i'm trying to port some old python code to api 2.0 and i'm unable to find any mentioning of MItDependencyNodes iterator in documentation.

Is it was removed forever or just silently replaced with some other class?

What's the best way to traverse the scene nodes of given type with api 2.0?

Thanks.

Hey Kthulhu -

The python api 2.0 was a very promising start that was sadly left only half-finished.  So a lot of functionality (including many of the iterators) is simply missing.  It's a bummer, because api 2.0 was both way simpler to use, AND way faster than the 1.0 python api.

Because it's only half-finished, though, the only places I use it are very self-contained tasks, that I know can be accomplished with it, and could use a speed boost (compared to 1.0 python).

Ouch.

Got it, really pity to hear that so good thing as scripted access to Maya internals left unfinished, but thanks for information.

The problem with api 1.0 is that i cannot find any documentation on it, seems it was intentionally replaced with 2.0 wherever it was possible, and some methods changed a lot, like MFnMesh.allIntersections parameters list.
