userSetup is not calling 'loadNewShelf'

[I73]

I am trying to call:

mel.eval('loadNewShelf "myPathToShelf.mel"')

But it's not loading the shelf, when I call the function after Maya has loaded in the script editor it loads the shelf fine. Where can I put my userSetup.py to allow me to load this? I know it has something to do with modules not being imported before the calls. 

Thanks!

Try mel.evalDeferred and see if that helps

Hey, thanks so much for the response. But trying this out I was unable to call it, I had to add a little bit to make it work:

cmds.evalDeferred("mel.eval('loadNewShelf \"" + shelfPath.replace('\\', '/') + "\"');")

Thanks!
