This is desperately needed. I'll tell my students that it's "on it's way". ;-) Fantastic news! This is desperately needed. I’ll tell my students that it’s “on it’s way”. ;-)

Can't wait for it's release. It'd be great to cover some basics, to advanced (without the need for readers to have knowledge of maya's C++ API). Ah great, just what I was looking for.

It’d be great to cover some basics, to advanced (without the need for readers to have knowledge of maya’s C++ API).

I think that a chapter or four on more elaborate stuff, like integrating wxPython UI's into your pipeline for character pickers and so on, would be stellar. Some stuff on AE templates for custom scripted nodes would be very helpful. I know that's not Python per se, but does link in. Oh, and a bit on writing deformers. I don't feel like they're documented well enough at all. If at some point you need a beta tester for the book please let me know. ;) The thing I’m having the most trouble with lately is getting wxPython to run non-blocking from within Maya by extending the App class and forcing the run loop to execute in Maya’s idle events.
