Workspace in Python?

[Anonymous]

I want to create a new project through Python by using the workspace command but I can't even get the examples in the docs to work. For instance this generates an error for me:

import maya.cmds as cmds

cmds.workspace( 'newWorkspace', newWorkspace=True )
cmds.workspace( baseWorkspace='default' )

What is the right way to do it?

cheers

For creating new workspace, here is the code

import maya.cmds as cmds
cmds.workspace( 'newWorkspace', n=True )
cmds.workspace( q=True, dir=True )
