We have been using it in maya on windows as well for a long time actually. We do have some event calling mechanisms as all of our custom GUI is implemented in the .net assemblies, and they communice with maya using some event hooks & delegate functions. It seems to work well, as long as we are careful. In the meantime, i got python.net working with the latest version of mono (2.8.1). Do you guys mind if i check in some minor changes to the source? I could post an svn patch here first. cheers, laszlo On 09/12/2010 7:54 PM, Tribble, Brett wrote:
Maya works fine with python.net. We use it all the time. Just remember that Maya is very particular as to how it handles multithreading, raising events, and the like. There is some info in the Maya Python SDK regarding how to deal with Python threading and Maya, and it seems to work with .NET callbacks as well. I've found that is seems best to add a flag to your .NET assembly that enables/disable events so that you can shut them off quickly before you end up with stacked event callbacks and resulting Maya crashes. If you're not raising events that percolate into Maya, then you probably don't need to worry about this.

Sadly, our other target, Maya, seems to be linking python statically... So I hope i can figure out how to get this integrated somehow...
Actually, scratch that. It seems like it has it's own .so as well. Time for some testing....
