Thanks.

I didn't get a lot of feedback about the Maya/Python stuff so I
suppose it's not used a lot, especially now that Maya has its own
bindings. So that's one reason why I wasn't planning on updating the
plugin. The other one is that I've switched job (and over here they
have their own plugin), moved to a new country and still am not online
at home, so I can't access the svn repository at the moment.

What are the parts that you've used and that are more awkward to use
in the native Maya bindings? The mel/cmds module is fairly similar
(not exactly though).
It might be worth thinking about whether I could build my "higher
level" stuff (like the GUI classes, etc.) on Maya's native version
now.... What do you think?
