Hello everyone,
I wanted to share a tool I’ve been building and released recently that may be useful to Maya API users here.
I created a set of strict, manually verified Python API 2.0 stubs covering all modules under maya/api
Coverage includes all 307 classes and 16,500+ unit tests validating signatures, keyword arguments, argument types and return types.
The goal was to address issues I kept running into with generated/documentation stubs being incomplete or inaccurate, and improve:
I’d genuinely love feedback from other TDs / technical artists.
Also happy to answer questions or discuss implementation/testing details.
It took me almost 2.5 years of pastime to cover everything
Biggest part of my progress was tracked here

- IDE completion
- Pyright / mypy support
- API discoverability
- Safer pipeline code
