[...] Since I’ve gotten a few questions about this lately, I figured it might be more efficient to put up a post! As many of you are aware, I noted awhile back that Ryan and I were working on a Maya Python API book. [...]

Thanks for the update Adam,
I’ve just checked back today to see when the book is out today (Amazon.com) ….can’t wait for it’s publication as it’s going to be really a useful text for our students on the BSc 3D Computer Animation degree programme….hopefully it’ll be ready for next academic year……I will keep my eyes peeled…
Regards,
Rob.

Hi Rob! Thanks for your interest. We’re still plugging away at it. I can’t confirm a final release date, but I can say that it definitely won’t be January. It will likely be sometime later in the year. Keep your eyes peeled! I may do another post at some point when I know more specifically.

Hi Adam,
just wondering if the ‘book’ is on track for release at the end of Jan 2011? Have told all my students to look out for it when it appears as it will fill a much needed gap in their studies. Lookinf forward to it.
Regards,
Rob.

Yaaaahoooo!!! Finally, a book on Maya’s Python. I’ve been waiting for this for the longest time! I am so happy there’s good documentation on pymel. But I wish someone would translate everything about the API that’s currently in C++ into python too. Cuz, that’s a whole wealth of knowledge already written that if we could just tap into would be great!
