python - Running script from maya button

import maya.cmds as cmds

class UI(object):
def __init__(self):
if cmds.window('myWindow', exists=True):
cmds.deleteUI("myWindow")

window = cmds.window('myWindow', title='MyWindow')
cmds.columnLayout()
cmds.button(l='myButton', c=self.btnCmd)

cmds.showWindow(window)

def btnCmd(self, *args):
print 'mybutton press',


you would just import the script and execute UI()

if you need to provide args use a lambda

cmds.button(l='myBtn', c=lambda *args: self.btnCmd(arg1, arg2))


also UIs are a lot easier in pymel

import pymel.core as pm

class UI(object):
def __init__(self):
if pm.window('myWindow', exists=True):
pm.deleteUI('myWindow')

with pm.window('myWindow', title='myWindow') as window:
with pm.columnLayout():
pm.button(l='myButton', c=lambda *args: self.btnCmd('test1', 5))
window.show()

def btnCmd(self, arg1, arg2):
print arg1
print arg2
