MPxManipContainer Python API 2.0

[rdurnin]

Hello, and thanks for any help you are able to lend.

I am looking to implement a custom manipulator using python and maya's latest API, but have not been able to locate the MPxManipContainer class in any of the maya.api.* libraries.

Where have these classes been moved to? And what is the easiest way to search for migrated types (The examples are not up-to-date and it is quite difficult to find useful implementations online).

Hi,

This is a known issue for Python API 2.0. I am afraid you can't implement it with Python 2.0 api now.

Yours,

Thanks!  Do you know if there is an alternative/preferred way to create a manipulator? Or a plan to fix the issue?

Hi,

I would say that C++ is the best way because there are some VP2 Selection APIs are still missing in current Python API. I am afraid I can't give a detail schedule about fixing the issue now. Sorry about that.

Yours,

If you are keeping track of interest, please add another "vote" for getting this missing part of the Python 2.0 API resolved.
