This is nice and works well but how do you go about getting information back? I know there is a .recv() and a .recvfrom() but the sting they return is not really that useful. Is there a better way?

Sure, what kind of information are you looking to get back? The easiest way to to tell if what you want is possible is by running your command first through MEL, then view the out put. If what you wanted was confirmation of a render command you can dump the output of the Python to a temp file then parse that file, a hack for sure but just the first thought off the top of my head.

for example if I wanted a list of the selected icons the .recv() would return something like this. bob1 bob2 bob3 bob4 (cube thihg) Is there a way to get it to come back as a list instead of string?

I don\'t think so, BUT you can take that input and reformat it inside python, lets take your example using .recv()

arr1 = [] data = .recv(1024) print data for i in data.split(\" \"): print i

What I am doing there is taking the result of your 1 line space delimited string and looping over it, creating an array (arr1) and as I loop over it, adding the result to the array. Now if I want to call one of those elements I can just use print arr1[n] where \"N\" is the element number of the array. If I did arr1[0] in your example it would be \"bob1\". Since each item is now an element, you can do what ever you want with them.

Thank you I don\'t know why I didn\'t think of using split sooner. maya.send(r\'ls-sl;\') sel1 = maya.recv(1024) sel2 = sel1.split()[:-1] maya.send(r\'select -r %s;\' % sel2[1]) You don\'t need the (\' \') if you just leave it blank it will split it into words automatically. And the [:-1] will get rid of that unknown character. O how did you get your code in that box?

This is a huge security hole. If you save credentials for admin to use \"runas /savecred /user:administrator benignapp\", there\'s nothing to stop a malicious script from doing \"runas /savecred /user:administrator downloaded-virus.exe\". It\'s like a global SUID bit!
