API

The weSkel Python API lets you work with Maya nodes, attributes and connections from your scripts. It is built on Maya Python API 2.0.

API classes

Class or family	Role
Node wrappers	A family of classes representing the supported Maya node types.
Plug	Work with a plug: its value, connections, children and elements.
PlugArray	Work with a collection of plugs.
Plugs	Access a node’s plugs and manage its attributes.

Concepts

Concept	Role
Specs	Declare attributes exposed as Python properties, readable and writable according to their contract.
SVD	Describe a plug’s state: incoming source, value and outgoing destinations.
Snapshots	Capture the state of a plug, selected attributes or a node, depending on the format. The wrapper snapshot restores the node state it covers.

Access and connection syntax is detailed in How it works. Capture and restoration are explained in SVD & snapshots. The API reference lists each class’s signatures, types and members.
