This provide advance python definition for the maya.cmds modules.
- keyword args auto complete
- keyword args type
- keyword args documentation directly in the IDE
- function documentation directly in the IDE
To use this, you should set up your development environment to include Maya completion located here {maya_folder}/devkit/other/pymel/extras/completion/py and to use the interpreter located here {maya_folder}/bin/mayapy.
Download out/cmds/__init__.py and replace the file located here {maya_folder}/devkit/other/pymel/extras/completion/py/maya/cmds
If you are using Pycharm you can use out/cmds/__init__.pyi. This will provide advanced typing.
Delete or rename the old __init__.py file.
Note: Since this is a big file, Pycharm will probably ask you to increase the available memory.
In Pycharm go to: Help -> Edit Custom Properties..., add this line to the file: idea.max.intellisense.filesize=999999 save and restart Pycharm.
