MQtUtil and Maya2016

Coding
1

Hey guys I am just running a very small PySide script to start a very very basic window in maya2016

the only issue I am getting is that MQtUtil doesn’t seem to be working nicely for me.

def getMayaWindow():
pointer = mui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
return shiboken.wrapInstance(long(pointer), QtGui.QWidget)

Maya simply says MQtUtil has no attributes, is this common in PySide on 2016 or compatable at all?

thanks for your help

you’re using this from the script editor?

Both script editor and from Pycharm piped commands

edit: pycharm sends the code every time effortlessly with exit code 0 but the fwindow does not actually pop up.

script editor sends the error code.

this works for me in 2016


import maya.OpenMayaUI as apiUI
from PySide import QtGui, QtCore
import shiboken


PARENT = shiboken.wrapInstance(long(apiUI.MQtUtil.mainWindow()), QtGui.QWidget)

the error persists :frowning:

Ok very embarrassing I forgot to import the UI or OpenMayaUI haha. It works now but the code being sent from PyCharm doesn’t cast the window if you know anything about that.

also another query for you. I’m using PyCharm as stated and I can not copy and paste into script editor even with nathan hornes work around script. listed here http://forum.jetbrains.com/thread/PyCharm-671

import maya.OpenMayaUI as apiUI
