i need to edit the text command when i click button but my syntax is off i am not sure what i am doing wrong. I am trying to copy the
mel method and implement it in python. eg (in mel the button label type set type) to python set type.

#in python

def myMain():

CODE

    myWindow ='selecting'http://www.highend3d.com/boards/index.php?act=post&do=edit_post&f=723&t=256428&p=304562&st=0
    if mc.window(myWindow, exists = 1):
        mc.deleteUI(myWindow)
    window = mc.window( myWindow, title = "shape", iconName='Sl', widthHeight=(200, 55),rtf=True )
    mc.columnLayout()
    x = mc.text(label="mesh")
    mc.button(label="set type",command ="myShowType = mc.ls(sl=True, st=True),"+"mc.text(myShowType[1],edit = True,label=True)" + x ) #somthing weird happening here.
    #mc.button(label='CopyTooObject',command = )
    mc.showWindow(myWindow)

myMain()

#mel example of the code i am copying

CODE
global proc getSetUI(){

// How to set/use information at button press time.

  // 1st button changes the text label.
  // 2nd button queries the text label and uses that right away.
  // 3rd button queries the text label and sends it to
  //   getSetUI_fromProc.

// The queries run at button press time, not UI creation time.

string $window = window;
columnLayout;

string $x = text -label "mesh"; //You can add -vis 0 to hide it

  button -label "set type"
         -command ( "string $showType[] = ls -sl -showType;" +
                    "text -e -label $showType[1] " + $x );                            #trying to copy this line

button -label "select all of type in the button"
-command ( "string $type = text -q -label " + $x + "; select ls -type $type" );

button -label "select all of type in a proc"
-command ( "getSetUI_fromProc text -q -label " + $x + "" );

showWindow $window;

}

you should be wrapping your code into code tags when posting.
simply porting from MEL will result in very ugly python.

for handling gui, it's very handy to use objects. try this.

CODE
import maya.cmds as cmds

class ButtonTest:
def __init__(self):
self.ourTextField = None

def buttonHandler(self,*args):

        # read type from text field and select objects of this type
        value = cmds.textField(self.ourTextField,q=True,text=True)
        objectList = cmds.ls(type=value)
        cmds.select(objectList)

def showWindow(self):
cmds.window( width=150 )

row = cmds.rowLayout(nc=2, adjustableColumn=1,columnWidth2=[200,40], columnAttach2=["both","both"],columnAlign2=["left","center"])

        self.ourTextField = cmds.textField()
        select = cmds.button(label="<<",command=self.buttonHandler)
        cmds.showWindow()

test = ButtonTest()
test.showWindow()

CODE
import maya.cmds as mc
def myMain():
    myWindow ='selecting'
    if mc.window(myWindow, exists = 1):
        mc.deleteUI(myWindow)
    window = mc.window( myWindow, title = "shape", iconName='Sl', widthHeight=(200, 55),rtf=True )
    mc.columnLayout()
    x = mc.text(label="mesh")
    mc.button(label="set type",command =("myShowType=mc.ls(sl=True,showType=True);mc.text("+x+",e=True,l=myShowType[1])"))
    #mc.button(label='CopyTooObject',command = )
    mc.showWindow(myWindow)
myMain()

As uiron told please use code tag and if possible use tab also

sorry about that this is my first time posting. Will use code from now on.

hey again i cant figure out how to pass the floatFieldGrp to my class. So that i can alter a certain % of an object instead of an exact copy.

CODE
import maya.cmds as mc
import sys
import string

class ButtonTest:

    def __init__(self,name,name2,perc1,perc2):
        self.firstObj = name
        self.secondObj = name2
        self.percentage1 = perc1
        self.percentage2 = perc2
        print self.percentage1

    def firstButton(self,*args):
            obj1 = mc.ls(sl=True)
        self.firstObj = obj1

    def secondButton(self,*args):
        obj2 = mc.ls(sl=True)
        self.secondObj = obj2

def percentage(self,*args):
percentage1 = mc.floatFieldGrp(percentage, query=True,v1=True) #dont understand how to query.

def compute(self,*args):

if (string.find(self.firstObj[0],'.vtx')>1 and string.find(self.secondObj[0],'.vtx') > 1 ):

point=mc.filterExpand(self.firstObj,sm=31)
point2=mc.filterExpand(self.secondObj,sm=31)

            for i in point2:
                findVtx2 = string.find(i,".")
                shape2 = i[:findVtx2]

            for i in range(len(point)):
                pp=mc.pointPosition(point[i],local=True)
                findVtx = string.find(point[i],".")
                selectedVtx = point[i][findVtx:]
                change = shape2+selectedVtx
                mc.xform(change, ws=True, t=(pp[0],pp[1],pp[2]))

elif(string.find(self.firstObj[0],'.cv')>1 and string.find(self.secondObj[0],'.cv') > 1 ):

point=mc.filterExpand(self.firstObj,sm=28)
point2=mc.filterExpand(self.secondObj,sm=28)

            for i in point2:
                findVtx2 = string.find(i,".")
                shape2 = i[:findVtx2]

        elif(string.find(self.firstObj[0],'.smp')>1 and string.find(self.secondObj[0],'.smp') > 1 ):
            point=mc.filterExpand(self.firstObj,sm=36)
            point2=mc.filterExpand(self.secondObj,sm=36)

            for i in point2:
                findVtx2 = string.find(i,".")
                shape2 = i[:findVtx2]

else:
print "not right kind of objects"

def myMain():

test = ButtonTest(None,None,None,None)

myWindow ='selecting'

    percentage2 = mc.floatFieldGrp(percentage, query=True,v2=True) #how can i send these to the class button test
    percentage3 = mc.floatFieldGrp(percentage, query=True,v3=True) #how can i send these to the class button test
    mc.button(label='Percentage',command =test.percentage)
    mc.button(label='compute',command =test.compute)

mc.showWindow(myWindow)

    print percentage1
