I am using ubuntu 18.04, python 3.6.

I installed maya using :

pip install maya

then tried to run this :

import maya.cmds

then i got the module not found error.

Then i installed :

pip install maya-cmds-help

But again same error is showing. How can i get rid of this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Are you executing this from within Maya? If so, the bundled Python interpreter should have automatically done whatever needs doing to give you access to maya.cmds. – Daniel Skovli Nov 14 '19 at 05:53
  • No, im executing the script outside maya. Is it possible ? Like im trying to create a script for searching some file types. – SRJ577 Nov 14 '19 at 06:11
  • Maya command can only used from within maya or from mayapy in commandline. And maya still uses Python 2.7. – haggi krey Nov 14 '19 at 09:20
  • Why do you specifically need maya's api to search for file types? Isn't `os` enough? – Green Cell Nov 21 '19 at 03:22
  • What i really need is a script for automatically loading missing files in the reference editor and printing out the missing files which is shown in and file path editor. Any help will be greatly appreciated. – SRJ577 Nov 28 '19 at 07:01

The module you install https://pypi.org/project/maya/ has nothing to do with the Autodesk Maya.

If you are attempting to query and edit Maya files without opening an actual Maya session, use mayapy. It's an external Python interpreter that allows you to access maya.cmds
