Can't disable autoload via userSetup

[evalinia]

Hey all, 

I'm trying to disable autoload on all my plugins in a userSetup.py file. Loading/Unloading plugins works fine. It's just setting autoload to false that doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something? It might be worth mentioning that I'm running Maya on macOS. 

I'm running: 

from maya import cmds

# Force Auto load all plugins to False

pluginList = cmds.pluginInfo(query=True, listPlugins=True) or []

for plugin in pluginList:

cmds.pluginInfo(plugin, edit=True, autoload=False)

Thanks in advance, 

Evelyn

Could this be a bug on MacOS? Does anyone on windows or linux see this issue? Unfortunately, I can't test.

Just wanted to check in on this again. Is this a bug or is there another way I should be going about this?

just giving this another nudge

Just closing the loop...

After digging around and talking to colleagues, I'm pretty sure it's not possible to disable plugins via userSetup. I found this older article, so I'll try going about it that way.
