[FIXED] Maya API/ PySide2 , wrong argument in wrapInstance

Issue

Trying to learn some PySide2 for Maya, but there is no clear documentation for PySide2 yet, so after searching in internet coming here again for help...

I will go straight to the problem -

from PySide2 import QtWidgets, QtGui
import maya.cmds as cmds
import maya.OpenMayaUI as mui
import shiboken2

def getMayaWindow():
    pointer  = mui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
    if pointer is not None:
        return shiboken2.wrapInstance(long(pointer), QtWidgets)

Error: TypeError: file line 9: 'wrapInstance' called with wrong argument types:

wrapInstance(long, module)

Supported signatures:

wrapInstance(size_t, PyType) #

Best regards!

Solution

You should try to import modules by the following way:

import maya.cmds as cmds
from PySide2.QtCore import * 
from PySide2.QtGui import *
from PySide2.QtWidgets import *
import maya.OpenMayaUI as omui

try:
    from shiboken import wrapInstance
except:
    from shiboken2 import wrapInstance


def getMayaWindow():    
    pointer = omui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
    if pointer is not None:
        return shiboken2.wrapInstance(long(pointer), QWidget)

getMayaWindow()
