I Need A Little Help

[yaney2]

I'm a beginner for python in maya,
i want to use python create vector variables, just like jscript or mel
vector $myVec

how can I do it in python in maya, isn't Tkinter, or just use python itself??

Thanks a lot

I found the answer by myself, just use pymel or API

Good Luck!!

learning python atm, and i found this on vectors

CODE
class Vector:

  def __init__(self, data):
    self.data = data

  def __repr__(self):
    return repr(self.data)  

  def __add__(self, other):
    data = []
    for j in range(len(self.data)):
      data.append(self.data[j] + other.data[j])
    return Vector(data)

  def __sub__(self, other):
    data = []
    for j in range(len(self.data)):
      data.append(self.data[j] - other.data[j])
    return Vector(data)

you can then do somthing like this

CODE
x = Vector([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])
y = Vector([2.0, 2.0, 2.0])

print x + y,
#or
print x - y,

depending on what else you want to do u need to add more lines of code to the class

how would i write a line in the vector class to do this ??

CODE
x = Vector([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])
x / 2

# Result: [0.5, 1.0, 1.5] #

i dont want to do this:

CODE
  def __div__(self, other):
    data = []
    for j in range(len(self.data)):
      data.append(self.data[j] / other.data[0])
    return Vector(data)

###

x = Vector([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])
y = Vector([2.0,])

x / y

i tried to change "data = []" declaration, but since the script is using append it must be a list in this case. if anyone could post a alternate method of doing a vector class ( keeping it simple) it would help me learning about classes
