What you need after a long day of wrestling with Maya Python.

## Overview
`maya-brew` aims to provide safer, more structured interaction patterns when scripting or tooling inside Autodesk Maya.
Goals:
- Reduce foot‑guns when using Python inside Maya
- Offer utilities that behave well with Maya’s quirks
## Background
`maya-brew` draws inspiration from some of the ergonomic goals that motivated
[PyMEL](https://github.com/LumaPictures/pymel): making Maya’s Python interface feel more “Pythonic,” safer, and more
discoverable. PyMEL historically provided rich object wrappers around nodes, attributes, and other scene elements;
for many workflows this improved readability and reduced boilerplate.
However, over time several practical factors led to the decision to start a lightweight alternative instead of
extending PyMEL itself:
- Scope & Complexity: PyMEL’s dynamic wrapping and layered abstractions can introduce startup overhead, indirection, and
occasional debugging friction.
- Historical Churn: A long evolution, multiple contributors, and some legacy design choices make selective modernization
non‑trivial.
- Maintenance & Momentum: While still usable, PyMEL no longer appears to have the same pace of active development or
broad community push it once did.
- Adoption Fit: Many pipelines only need a thin set of safety/ergonomic helpers—not a full object layer over
`maya.cmds`.
### Acknowledgment
PyMEL significantly influenced how many technical artists approach Maya scripting, and this project stands on that
conceptual foundation. `maya-brew` simply narrows the focus: take the useful ergonomic ideas, shed the heavy wrapping,
and keep to the canonical APIs.
