Sublime Text 2 is a really great text editor. If you haven’t tried it, do yourself a favor! Here is a guide to get you setup for Maya scripting. It includes auto complete for PyQt and maya.cmds\/mel; and ctrl+enter communication with Maya. It took a bit of googling and fiddling to get this working, so hopefully I can save you some time and frustration.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1) First, get Sublime Text 2<\/a>. It has an infinite trial period. If you like it, support it by buying it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2) Get package control <\/a>. Once its installed, press ctrl+shift+p in Sublime Text and start typing “package.” If you want, go to “Package Control:Discover Package” to browse the huge list of plugins.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7)UPDATE: SublimeMaya is now in package control too. It shows proper stack trace and line number, so you can ignore this step. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I hope this helps! If you have any additional things you’ve done with Sublime Text 2 to help with Maya development, let me know in the comments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sublime Text 2 is a really great text editor.

\n3) UPDATE: I’m using Jedi now, its a much easier setup Here’s the github page<\/a>, you can also install it through package control. Be sure to add to add ‘C:\/Program Files\/Autodesk\/Maya[VERSION]\/devkit\/other\/pymel\/extras\/completion\/py\/’ to the paths (see github for setup instructions)<\/p>\n3) Press ctrl+shift+p, start typing “package”, go to “Package Control:Install Package” and press enter. Now start typing “codeintel” and select “SublimeCodeIntel.” Let it install.
\n<\/del>
\n <\/p>\n4) I had to remove some files from code intel to get it to work. The files were throwing errors so I just removed them and it worked. So go to “…\\AppData\\Roaming\\Sublime Text 2\\Packages\\SublimeCodeIntel\\libs\\codeintel2” (You can easily navigate to this folder from Sublime Text 2 by selecting Preferences>Browse Packages) and take out “lang_css.py” and “lang_less.py” and their respective .pyc files.
\n<\/del>
\n <\/p>\n5) Place pyqt4.cix<\/a> in “…\\AppData\\Roaming\\Sublime Text 2\\Packages\\SublimeCodeIntel\\libs\\codeintel2\\catalogs” (You can easily navigate to this folder from Sublime Text 2 by selecting Preferences>Browse Packages). This .cix file is a catalog of pyqt for auto complete. I originally found it on wuub.net<\/a>. In the version you can download here I changed one line to make it work. I edited the “name” attribute to the value “PyQt4”. All other cix files I found on the web didn’t work properly and using codeintel’s gencix.py utility created an incomplete cix. This does it right!<\/del><\/p>\n6) Navigate to “C:\\Users\\[WHATEVER]\\Documents\\.codeintel” and edit the config file to look like this (change the paths to fit your environment):
\n{
\n“Python”: {
\n“python”: ‘C:\/Python26\/python.exe’,
\n“pythonExtraPaths”: [
\n‘C:\/Python26\/Lib\/site-packages’,
\n‘C:\/Program Files\/Autodesk\/Maya2013\/devkit\/other\/pymel\/extras\/completion\/py\/’
\n]
\n}
\n}
\n<\/del><\/p>\nNote: The first time code intel tries to auto complete something, it will take a while. Especially the PyQt4.cix file. It may seem like its not working even after it completes loading, but try it a few times. Eventually if it really isn’t working, check out the log in “C:\\Users\\[WHATEVER]\\Documents\\.codeintel”<\/del><\/p>\nNow you need to get Sublime Text 2 to communicate with Maya. Get MayaSublime<\/a>. In the plugin (which you can easily access from Sublime Text 2 via Preferences>Browse Packages), I edited the MayaSublime.py file so that it provides stack trace and the proper line number in the stack trace. You can download my version here<\/a>. Thanks to Justin Israel<\/a> for writing this. I also put cmds.commandPort(name=”:7002″, sourceType=”python”) in my userSetup.py script for convenience.<\/del><\/p>\n
