Python commands in marking menu

[Meng-Yang Lu]

This is a noob question I'm sure. 

How do I get my python commands working in marking menus?  They're defined as functions, but they're not being sourced/imported properly. 

Thanks in advance,

I'd love to know this as well, any ideas?

I think you can use the  the "python" mel command to send a string as python commands.

I'm using it this way:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
menuItem -l "Wiimote Device Editor" -c "python(\"from cra_wiiMan import *\\ncra_wiiMan()\")";
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Escaping each line by \\n as it is also within a string so you have to escape \ to \\ to use the \n (new line) escape code . You need having your py file in one of you scripts directories or PYTHONPATH defined directories to import it properly.

Don't know if that's what you're asking. Hope it helps.
