Pymel

“Pymel makes python scripting with Maya work the way it should — in an intuitive, concise, and object-oriented way. Pymel corrects the many design oversights in the maya.cmds and maya.mel modules, and reorganizes its commands into a class hierarchy. the result is that you can perform scripting tasks in Maya more quickly and with less code, with all the power of python.”

Luma Pictures just released this interesting piece of freeware that could very well make our scripting lives a whole lot easier. I know Python is widely used by studios such as ILM, The Mill, Digital Domain and so forth, so it’s really exciting to see the folks over at Luma share some of their proprietary wealth with the community at large.
