[Maya-Python] Button attribute

[Marcus Ottosson]

Hi all,

I'm looking to add an attribute to a node, say "printHello", of type "button".

This attribute would appear as a button in the Attribute Editor which, when pressed, would trigger a Python function of sorts.

The problem is, the type "button" doesn't exist. I would preferable *not* use an Attribute Editor XML template, as I'd like to influence my surroundings as little as possible.

Ideally, the workflow would go something like this.

def my_callback():

  print("Hello")

cmds.addAttr("myNode", ln="printHello", dt="button", callback=my_callback)

Any ideas on how to achieve this?
