pymel.core.system.namespaceInfo

static system.namespaceInfo(*args, **kwargs)

This command displays information about the current namespace. A namespace is a simple grouping of objects under a given name. Each item in a namespace can then be identified by its own name, along with what namespace it belongs to. Namespaces can contain other namespaces like sets, with the restriction that all namespaces are disjoint. Namespaces are primarily used to resolve name-clash issues in Maya, where a new object has the same name as an existing object (from importing a file, for example). Using namespaces, you can have two objects with the same name, as long as they are contained in differenct namespaces. Note that namespaces are a simple grouping of names, so they do not effect selection, the DAG, the Dependency Graph, or any other aspect of Maya. All namespace names are colon-separated.

Modifications:

• returns an empty list when the result is None
• returns wrapped classes for listOnlyDependencyNodes

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
absoluteName (an)		bool
currentNamespace (cur)		bool
	Display the name of the current namespace.
dagPath (dp)		bool
	This flag modifies the ‘-ls/-listNamespace’ and ‘-lod-listOnlyDependencyNodes flags to indicate that the names of any dag objects returned will include as much of the dag path as is necessary to make the names unique. If this flag is not present, the names returned will not include any dag paths. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
isRootNamespace (ir)		bool
listNamespace (ls)		bool
	List the contents of the current namespace.
listOnlyDependencyNodes (lod)		bool
	List all dependency nodes in the current namespace.
listOnlyNamespaces (lon)		bool
	List all namespaces in the current namespace.
parent (p)		bool
	Display the parent of the current namespace.
recurse (r)		bool
	Can be specified with -listNamespace, -listOnlyNamespaces or -listOnlyDependencyNode to cause the listing to recursively include any child namespaces of the current namespaces.
shortName (sn)		bool

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.namespaceInfo

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# List the contents of the current namespace
#
pm.namespaceInfo( listNamespace=True )
