Hey masters

I want to import skin weight maps of an object with python code, but i think maya does not have equivalent of `Rigging > skin > Import Wights Maps...`, i found that just there is one MEL command that will open the related dialogbox, thi: `mel.eval("ImportSkinWeightMaps;")`.
but, because i want to do it automatically not with user interaction so i need a better command, pymel has it too, but just open dialogbox not anymore.

any advice?
thanks

I wrote a really quick'n'dirty one to be used as part as of a rig builder, so maybe you can use it as a starting point. Here's the code: https://gist.github.com/christophercrouzet/2e74ca5b6f33500caf95b0c9244c27e6

I've just extracted it from a codebase and didn't really tested it after that, so maybe there's some glitches. Also it relies on a library (that'd need a revamping) named `banana.maya` but the functions being used could easily be extracted, I just didn't take the time to do so. Anyways, it should be enough as it is to give an idea of the basics.
