Python and hotkeys

[shredder]

Hey guys.. I am trying to figure out something I am running into. I am setting a hotkey thru python, and I cant seem to get it to work.

I am importing my stuff and mayas

import maya.cmds as cmds
import pickWalkScript as pws

 I then run this from a button. (The imports are in the button also)

cmds.nameCommand( 'jrPickwalkUp',stp = "python", ann='pickwalk up the heirarchy', c='pws.jrPickwalkUp()' )
cmds.hotkey(k="Up",n='jrPickwalkUp')

Interesting. It seems the sourceType flag is not functioning properly, it always defaults to 'mel', apparently. To solve this you can force it run your function as python by wrapping it in the mel python() function.

cmds.nameCommand( 'jrPickwalkUp', stp="dead flag", ann='', c='python("pws.jrPickwalkUp()");' )
cmds.hotkey(k="Up",n='jrPickwalkUp')

So this is a bug in 2011 x64 it seems?
