What's New

Version 1.5.0

Fixes

  • Fix version constants
Additions
  • Added maya-2025 support
  • Added a workaround for additional . in the result of using listAttr with blendshape in Maya 2025.
  • Added support for PySide6 and shiboken6
  • Bumped PyQt from PyQt4 to PyQt6 and PyQt5

Non-Backward Compatible Changes

  • Dropped support for maya-2020
  • Dropped support for PySide and shiboken

Version 1.5.0

Additions

  • Added support for maya 2025 and python 3.11

Non-Backward Compatible Changes

  • Dropped support for maya-2020

Version 1.4.0

Additions

  • Added support for maya 2024 and python 3.10

Non-Backward Compatible Changes

  • Dropped support for maya-2019

Version 1.3.1

Fixes

  • Fix issue with mel2py in python3 (issue #465)

Version 1.3.0

Additions

  • all: Add support for maya-2023 and python 3.9
  • all: Major update to pyi type stubs. Most auto-generated functions & methods now include type info for all arguments, including both short and long variants for functions generated from MEL/maya.cmds. The stubs are distributed as part of the pymel package in a PEP 561-compatible way, so that they will be automatically discovered by IDEs and static type analyzers like mypy.

Non-Backward Compatible Changes

  • dropped support for maya-2018

Fixes

  • Fix language.Env.host() (issue #460)
  • Do not use 'is' when comparing to string literals (issue #449)
  • Fix bug where maybeConvert returned None for 0 (issue #448)
  • Fix incompatible use of __import__ on python3 (issues #447 and #445)

Version 1.2.0

Additions

  • all: Add maya-2022 and python3 support!
  • all: Add support for pip installing pymel, and uploading to pypi
  • api: add support for MPxTransform_BoundingBox
  • Update PLY to 3.11

Version 1.1.0

Non-Backward Compatible Changes

  • removed support for maya versions before 2017
  • general: AttributeSpec.parent() now returns None instead of erroring
  • datatypes: Quaternion.asEulerRotation now returns a datatypes.EulerRotation as intended, instead of OpenMaya.MEulerRotation; since dt.EulerRotation inherits from om.MEulerRotation, they should mostly be compatible, but if you need a om.MEulerRotation, just cast directly - ie, om.MEulerRotation(dt.Quaternion().asEulerRotation())
  • uitypes: OptionMenuGrp.getParent() now returns a PyUI object, instead of a string, as intended. This brings it's behavior in line with most other PyUI .getParent() calls, including RowLayout.getParent() and Layout.getParent(), from which OptionMenuGrp inherits
  • uitypes: PopupMenu.getItemArray() now returns PyUI objects, instead of strings, as intended. This brings it's behavior in line with Menu .getItemArray(), from which it inherits
  • nodetypes: Due to a bug, the following methods were wrapped on a random scattering of subclasses of the named classes. They were ever intended to be wrapped at all. They are all being removed - exact methods and reasoning below:
    • DagNode.setObject: dangerous - changes the node we're wrapping out from underneath us
    • DependNode.addAttribute: dangerous, because it only took AttributeSpec objects as inputs. In addition to being fairly obscure, they are mostly constructed from existing attributes - but the API explicitly warns against adding an attribute using an MObject that's already added to another node. Use addAttr method instead.
    • DependNode.attribute: too confusing to have both "attr" and "attribute" which return different types of objects. Use attrSpec instead. Also, the old wrap only worked with integer indices, which wasn't useful in most situations (attrSpec works with either string names, Attribute objects, or indices).
    • DependNode.findPlug: dangerous, as it allowed returning networked mplugs. Use attr method instead. The api docs warn that networked plugs should not be used if you might be breaking connections, thus why these are considerered dangerous. Also, it only worked when fed AttributeSpec, a little known / used part of pymel.
    • DependNode.reorderedAttribute: obscure, and apparently only useful during file IO
    • Shape.dagPath: useless, as it just always returned self
    • Shape.getPath: useless, as it just always returned self

Changes

  • all: The basic way methods and commands are wrapped has been altered. Formerly, all items were wrapped dynamically, at runtime; now, they are wrapped and "baked", using templates, when a pymel release is made. The end result should be code that is more much readable and understandable for end users.

  • all: Converted to a new .py/.pyc.zip cache format. Improved pymel import times, in addition to being more readable/diffable/maintainable

  • general: AttributeDefaults renamed to AttributeSpec, which better reflects what it is: a specification for the type on an attribute, not associated with any single node. The AttributeDefaults name is preserved as an alias for backwards compatibility.

  • nodetypes: Due to a bug, the following methods were wrapped on a random scattering of subclasses of the named classes. They were ever intended to be wrapped at all. They are being marked as deprecated, and will raise a warning, if used on any of the subclasses for which they are implemented:

    DependNode.findAlias, DependNode.getAffectedAttributes, DependNode .getAffectedByAttributes, DependNode.getAliasList, DependNode .getConnections, DependNode.plugsAlias, DependNode.setAlias, Transform .getRotationQuaternion, Transform.setRotationQuaternion

  • nodetypes: The following methods were removed from Shape: model, removeChild, and removeChildAt. They were never intended to be wrapped, and were non- functional, so removing them should not introduce any backwards-compatibility issues.

  • nodetypes:Shape.getAllPaths was moved from Shape to DagNode, and marked deprecated. It was only wrapped as a result of a bug, it has a misleading name (it returns PyNodes, not paths), and is functionally equivalent to getInstances(). However, since it may have been in use, and we don't wish to break backward compatibility, we are marking it as deprecated. We are moving it to DagNode, instead of Shape, because the fact that it was defined on Shape and not Transform made it give incorrect / misleading results. This is because the Transform node will check it's first shape for attributes it can't find defined on itself - the net result is that, even though it's not defined on Transform, if it had a shape, it would "appear" to be, but return the "wrong" results - ie PyNodes corresponding to all instances of the first shape, NOT the transform itself.

  • nodetypes: AnimCurve.timedAnimCurveTypeForPlug/unitlessAnimCurveTypeForPlug turned into classmethods, as they don't require / operate on a specific AnimCurve

  • conf: add a new setting to pymel.conf, "deleted_pynode_name_access", to to control the behavior when a deleted node's name is queried / used. The current behavior - of issuing a warning, but returning the old name - is now deprecated, and at some point the default will be changed to "error", which will cause pymel to raise a DeletedMayaNodeError. If you wish to keep the old behavior - and not be nagged that it may be changed at some point the future - change the setting to "warn". You may also set it to "ignore" if you want to not even issue a warning. (The current default setting is "warn_deprecated", which will behave just like "warn", except with an additional FutureWarning to remind you to change the setting in pymel.conf)

  • util: Singleton: eliminate DeprecationWarning for object.__init__(*p, **k)

  • nodetypes: tweak new constraint-weight-query syntax - we now allow constraint(q=1, weight=True), instead of constraint(q=1, weight=[]); also, may use a tuple (or other non-list iterable) for weight

  • general: remove unused kwargs for Attribute.affects/affected

  • uitypes: make a base PyUIContainer parent class for Layout and Window

  • mel2py: removed findMelOnlyCommands(), as it wasn't working, unused, and never intended to be publicly exposed. (#412)

Additions

  • all: Add maya-2019 support

  • all: python-3 / "typing" style type comments added to many / most commands and methods

  • general: AttributeSpec may now be constructed from a string (which names an existing Attribute), an Attribute, an MPlug, or another AttributeSpec. DependNode.attrSpec now also accepts all these objects as well.

  • uitypes: Many layout flags were were not wrapped on Layout; they now are, which also means all sub-classes inherit these methods as well (though many subclasses already had their own overrides for many of these commands). The full set of new methods on Layout is:

    dragCallback, dropCallback, getAnnotation, getBackgroundColor, getChildArray, getDocTag, getEnable, getEnableBackground, getFullPathName, getHeight, getHighlightColor, getIsObscured, getManage, getNumberOfChildren, getNumberOfPopupMenus, getPopupMenuArray, getPreventOverride, getVisible, getVisibleChangeCommand, getWidth, noBackground, setAnnotation, setBackgroundColor, setDocTag, setEnable, setEnableBackground, setHeight, setHighlightColor, setManage, setPreventOverride, setVisible, setVisibleChangeCommand, setWidth, statusBarMessage

  • nodetypes: Some api method wraps were re-enabled on DependNode, DagNode, and ObjectSet. Formerly, some of these methods were implemented on some subclasses of these node types; they are now uniformly available on the base node. Note that some of these methods represent new functionality, while others merely duplicate existing functionality (ie, DagNode.partialPathName <=> DagNode.name); however, we wanted to provide a uniform interface, and did not want to break backward compatibility, so they were enabled on their base classes. The set of new methods is:

    Camera.getFarClippingPlane, Camera.setFarClippingPlane, Camera.getNearClippingPlane, Camera.setNearClippingPlane, DagNode.fullPathName, DagNode.isInstancedAttribute, DagNode.partialPathName, DagNode.setInstanceable, DependNode.allocateFlag, DependNode.attributeClass, DependNode.deallocateAllFlags, DependNode.deallocateFlag, DependNode.dgCallbacks, DependNode.dgTimer, DependNode.dgTimerOff, DependNode.dgTimerOn, DependNode.dgTimerQueryState, DependNode.dgTimerReset, DependNode.getAliasAttr, DependNode.hasAttribute, DependNode.isNewAttribute, DependNode.removeAttribute, DependNode.setFlag, DependNode.typeName, ObjectSet.addMember, ObjectSet.isMember, ObjectSet.removeMember

  • nodetypes: Transform.rotateByQuaternion added, and accepts either a Quaternion/MQuaternion or four separate floats

  • nodetypes: DependNode.deleteAttr now accepts Attribute objects (first verifying that it is an attribute on the same node as self)

  • nodetypes: Added a DependNode.typeName classmethod - similar to DependNode.type / general.nodeType, but unlike those, it does not require an actual instance of a node, or call any mel / api functions - instead, it just returns the type that the given class wraps. When called from an instance, should always give the same result as DependNode.type, since pymel always ensures that the most specific node class is used to create any PyNode

  • nodetypes: Undo support added to a number of AnimCurve methods:

    addKeys, addKeysWithTangents, insertKey, remove, setAngle, setBreakdown, setInTangentType, setOutTangentType, setPostInfinityType, setPreInfinityType, setTangentTypes, setTangentsLocked, setTime, setUnitlessInput, setValue, setWeight, setWeighted, setWeightsLocked

  • util.enum: EnumValue objects now have a __hash__, and so can be stored in dicts / sets

  • versions: add v2018_1, v2018_1, v2018_2, v2019_3, v2019

  • general: added getDefault method to Attribute class - thanks Bob White!

  • language: allow optionvars to save long types - thanks Jordan Hueckstaedt!

  • all: standardize on numpy-style docstrings with PEP484 type annotations.

  • general: allow adding of 2 (1-dimensional) components - ie, you can now add two MeshVertex objects, containing verts for the same mesh, together to get a new MeshVertex object representing their union

  • nodetypes: add Transform.getRotateOrientation / setRotateOrientation these are distinct from the existing getRotateAxis / setRotateAxis (from MEL), because they operate on quaternions, which are what the transform "actually" stores under the hood - and so it seems potentially useful to give direct access.

  • general: expand types of objects that AttributeSpec constructor accepts - str, Attribute object, AttributeSpec object, MPlug, MObject

  • nodetypes: make DependNode.deleteAttr work with Attribute

  • datatypes: expand set of things you can construct a Quaternion with: lists of floats, ints, another Quaternion, an MQuaternion, axis-angle, rotate vector-to-vector

  • nodetypes: added an undoable Camera.setNearFarClippingPlanes

  • system: UndoChunk can take an optional chunk "name" to show up in undo list

  • nodetypes: make creation of RenderLayer() / DisplayLayer() use mel cmds this way, they are hooked up to renderLayerManager / displayLayerManager also, gives more options on creation. However, they are created empty by default, to match old behavior

Bug Fixes

  • uitypes.OptionMenu.getItemArray() now fixed, and returns PyUI objects
  • nodetypes: fixed issue with DependNode.attrSpec incorrectly caching dynamic attrs
  • datatypes: fix getPlugValue for Angle and Time plugs (would error previously)

  • general: fix for parenting with grouping of args; fixes issue #406
  • virtual nodes: fix for plugins.PyNodeMethod

  • core: fix for plugin unloaded callback when using plugin name with extension - ie, pm.unloadPlugin("myPlugin.py")
  • nodetypes: make TransferAttribute use MFnWeightGeometryFilter
  • nodetypes: AnimCurve.addKey / evaluate / AnimCurve.findClosest now work for all curve types, not just time-to-float types
  • nodetypes: fix for creation of Locator() - thanks bob-white!
  • nodetypes: fix DisplayLayer.removeMembers - thanks Akshay!
  • general: deal with connectAttr error that contains unicode (#402)
  • nodetypes: fix bug when creating AngleBetween node (#416)

  • system: added workspace.expandName

Bugfixes

  • general: for the keyframe command, the upper / lower limits substituted in for the "index" flag, when no upper/lower limits were given, are now correct; formerly, the behavior of index=":" would vary depending on where (in time) the first and last keyframes were
  • general: timerange flags (ie, keyframe(time=...), findKeyframe(time=...), etc) now provide correct results when no upper/lower limits given; formerly, the time=":" would vary depending on if / which objects were selected

  • fix for virtual classes
  • versions: parsing for 'Preview Release' format - from Dean Edmonds

Version 1.0.5

Non-Backward Compatible Changes

  • DagNode.isVisible: has a new flag, checkOverride, which is on by default, and considers visibility override settings
  • referenceQuery/FileReference.getReferenceEdits: if only one of successfulEdits/failedEdits is given, and it is false, we now assume that the desire is to return the other type (and set that flag to true); formerly, this would result in NO edits being returned
  • parent no longer raises an error if setting an object's parent to it's current parent; this makes it behave similarly to the mel command, and to DagNode.setParent
  • renameFile now automatically sets the 'type' if none is supplied (helps avoid renaming a file to 'foo.ma', then saving it as 'mayaBinary')
  • general: 1D components have index() method: can no longer use string.index()
