OpenMayaMPx.cvar.MPxDeformerNode_outputGeom error

[ryanagogo]

I just started using maya 2016, and was trying to run a python deformer plug-in that was created in 2014, and was getting an error from this line:

outputGeom = OpenMayaMPx.cvar.MPxDeformerNode_outputGeom

seems the class with outputGeom has changed.  The plug-in now works after changing the line to this:

outputGeom = OpenMayaMPx.cvar.MPxGeometryFilter_outputGeom

Did anyone else notice this change? Seems this kind of change will break a lot of older python plug-ins.

Thanks ryan 

adding the error so its easy for others to relate to the issue .

outputGeom = OpenMayaMPx.cvar.MPxDeformerNode_outputGeom
# NameError: Unknown C global variable
# Warning: Failed to call script creator function #
# Error: #

Worked perfectly,

I'll just add that this helped fix an error I was getting for the shapeInverter plugin.
