Animation Layer naming got stripped

[kiteh]

2 Animation Layers in my scene - "BaseAnimation" and "testing:AnimLayer1"

While trying to query all the existing animation layers in the scene:

for layer in cmds.ls(type="animLayer"):
   print layer
   # BaseAnimation
   # AnimLayer1

I was expecting "testing:AnimLayer1" as part of the result but instead of that, I got a 'stripped' naming.

Am I using the wrong arguments/ wrong command? Or is this part of Maya's design?

There are more flags to the ls command that you can use:

absoluteName, long, showNamespace

Hey Justin,

Thanks for getting back.

I may have omitted this piece of information, so "testing:AnimLayer1" ("testing" is not a namespace to begin with)

Also tried the method you suggested - adding in more flags, I am not "testing" as part of the results.

Most of the results are only returning me "AnimLayer1", "BaseAnimation" or ":"
