How to find constrained parent of an object in mayapy standalone.

[Sudeepth Patinjarayil]

Hi,

i am not able to get parent of an object in maya python standalone (mayapy). i used "parent = maya.cmds.parentConstrain ([obj], q=True, tl=True)". when using in standalone i was not able to get the result. but if i paste the same code inside maya script editor i am getting the result. 

please give me some solution for this problem.

Thanks and regards,

Sudeepth Patinjarayil.

Does this not work properly for you?

$ mayapy

import maya.standalone
maya.standalone.initialize()
import maya.cmds as cmds
sphere1 = cmds.polySphere()
sphere2 = cmds.polySphere()
cmds.parentConstraint(sphere1, sphere2, maintainOffset=True)
# [u'pSphere2_parentConstraint1']
cmds.parentConstraint(sphere2, q=True, tl=True)
# [u'pSphere1']

What version of maya? Is there something different in your situation than my test?

Hi Justin,

Thank you for your code. But i wrote the same code but i was not getting the result in mayapy. i am using maya 2011 hotfix 3. my script is for getting the parent node(if any) of the scene referenced camera and to get the position of the camera. i got the position but unable to find the parent. But if i paste the same code in maya script editor i am getting the result. i think you understand what i want. 

Thanks and Regards,

Sudeepth Patinjarayi.

If you can show your code snippet then it will be easy for to debug. The issue can be solved using long names.

My previous test was in maya2012

I just tested it in Maya 2011P09 SP1. Same working results,

I am not sure why you are not getting the same as me. But as Kurian suggested, please post a small snippet that we can use to reproduce your problem.
