Pymel and maya 2025

[CraigLaMorte]

looks like pymel isn't working with maya 2025

I'm also having trouble getting pymel to run in Maya 2025, macOS Sonoma):

import pymel.core as pm

I've created a fork and generated 2025 docs for it. It seems working fine on my Windows machine.

How do i install the package from your fork?

@CraigLaMorte I was able to get this working in Maya2025 by downloading the zip, then adding the pymel and docs folders to sys.path. Not sure if docs needs to be on path.

I have provided a wheel in the release page.

https://github.com/iamsleepy/pymel/releases/tag/1.4.1b1

and it could be installed with pip like below:

mayapy -m pip install pymel-1.4.1b1-py2.py3-none-any.whl --user

Thanks for working on this @iamsleepy, really hope pymel doesn't die 😞. I think you're missing pip in the command? e.g.

mayapy -m pip install pymel-1.4.1b1-py2.py3-none-any.whl --user

Thanks for pointing it out. I've modified my original comment.

ok as a newb I think figured it out, for anyone strrugling get the whl file from github. save it somwhere (mine was c:\Pymel)

I did a few things so not sure which caused it finally work.

1. Open command pormpt
2. Type in cd c:\Pymel
3. type pip install pymel-1.4.1b1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
4. repeat step 2
5. type in "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2025\bin\mayapy.exe" -m pip install pymel-1.4.1b1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
6. open maya Pymel now works

Big thanks to @iamsleepy for the file!!!!

Hi all, sorry for the silence here. Everyone who maintained this project at Luma has moved on to other companies, including me. I have been super busy lately with my new job, so it's been hard to find the time for this, I apologize. That said, I'd really like to see this project and its community survive and thrive.

The problem as it stands is that I don't have the ability to merge anything in this project (or any projects owned by the LumaPictures org). I've emailed several times over the past few months. I just emailed everyone again.

I do still have the keys to PyPI, so I can help get an official release out to PyPI.

@iamsleepy Can you help me get this out?

If you can do step 7 (changelog) and the first parts of step 9 (update the version in pymel/__init__.py, supported Maya versions in README.md, minimum supported python versions in pyproject.toml), then I can do the rest.

Once I get the keys back to the project I can also add you as a contributor and we can get through these releases together, if that's interesting to you.

Hi @chadrik Let me try to work on the change log tomorrow.

[chadrik]

I had a quick look and it’s going to be very simple because there haven’t been many changes.
