Python - Is it possible to detect when an object moves in the scene?

[Anonymous]

Basically I am looking if there is some sort of callback function when you move a certain object in the scene. I have looked into official Maya Python docs and I couldn't find anything.

If you have any MEL solutions you can post those aswel.

Cheers.

Did you have a look at "scriptJob" (MEL, pymel) and "MNodeMessage" (Python API)?

Both methods allow to register a callback when an attribute changes.

Thanks!. That worked perfectly.

Here is the example if anyone else stumbles upon this problem.

def MoveNote():
print "We move"

someJob = cmds.scriptJob( ac = ['pCube1.translate', MoveNote], protected=True)
