[Maya-Python] PyMel not working in linux

[shawnpatapoff]

Hey Everyone,

In linux I have Maya 2009 with the most recent pyMel

I run:
a = polyCube()
a.listAttr()

I get these errors:
# Error: 'list' object has no attribute 'listAttr'
# Traceback (most recent call last):
# File "<maya console>", line 1, in <module>
# AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'listAttr' #
a[0].listAttr()
# Error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'parse'
# Traceback (most recent call last):
# File "<maya console>", line 1, in <module>
# File "/home/shawnpatapoff/key_local_tool_development/key_base/

# File "/home/shawnpatapoff/key_local_tool_development/key_base/
python/pymel/util/objectParser.py", line 582, in parse
# AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'parse' #

I'm running the OSX as well and it works fine. Is there something I
didnt consider in the linux installation?

Cheers,
Shawn

There is a typo at the top please disregard. After a[0].listAttr the
error begins.

i've never seen that error before. i can say with confidence that pymel 1.0.2 works with maya 2009 on fedora linux 10, but every linux distro is different. here's something you can do to test the compatibility of your linux against the version of python that comes with maya

extract the pymel 1.0.2.zip
open a terminal and cd to the directory where you extracted it
run mayapy

then from within the running mayapy python interpreter, run this:

import setup
setup.test_dynload_modules()

it will warn you about modules that do not import correctly. if you are missing the version of the lib that maya expects, you should make a symbolic link from an existing version to the missing version. if you need more info there is a section in the docs about doing that.

I cd into the /lib64 and the file doesn't exist in any way, no
version. Could I have an odd install going on?

We're running fedora 8, could that be an issue?

i have no idea what maya 2009 is certified to run on. we're on fedora 10.  you haven't been messing with maya's python install in any way, have you?

Not to my knowledge, though the previous IT guy really loved linking
things a lot. We're going to get fedora 10 installed here and probably
migrate everyone to it.

So not sure what's going on here. We installed a brand new maya 2009
with a brand new fedora 10...copy the pymel dir to the desktop, cd
into and get the same results. Is there any way to hunt down wtf is
going on? Any tips?

Cheers,
Shawn

you're certain all your environment variables are setup right for mayapy?  this is what i'm getting with maya 2009 on fedora 10:

ws-050: /Volumes/luma/_globalSoft/dev/chad/python/pymel chad$ mayapy

two bad modules, but none of that init stuff that you had.

Hey Chad,

Looks like we got it figured. On closer inspection of the help docs we
were not running mayapy correctly. So now we have it working properly
on fedora 10. Thanks for the help
