"History output should be outputting Python commands similar how its is currently outputting Mel commands"
"The main idea is to help new scripting artists to jump in Python directly.
In the MEL era, getting and analysing script editor output what the first thing you where doing while learning scripts.
A simple python-formatted output would really help new scripters not used to documentation."
"Currently the script editor returns functions in mel only.
Seeing as most developers are moving over to python and new users start learning python skipping MEL all together, it might be nice to have an option to return all the functions in Maya Python cmds.
Pymel currently offers a slightly hacky solution to get a similar result but it would be nice if atleast cmds would get properly supported.
(the pymel solution can be found here:)
