I don't even know where to begin to provide an adequate title for this question. Please suggest something better if you can.

EDIT:
Sorry, I need to clarify my question. I'm looking for something that is:
* memory efficient (i.e., using itertools, iterators, or generators) and
* generic can handle results with tuple of any size with any amount of offset.
* reusable without having to duplicate code.

some example use cases:

1. func(3, -1) -- PREV, CURR, NEXT
2. func(2, -1) -- PREV, CURR
3. func(2, 0) -- CURR, NEXT
4. or even func(5, -2) -- PREV, PREV, CURR, NEXT, NEXT

Here's an example with values for use case #1

for example if my list is: ['abc', 'def', 'ghi', 'jkl']

the results of iterating over it would be:

I am new to python and I am trying to do a simple script to find all the floatConstant nodes in the Hypershade named "rangeImput#" and update all the values at once.

However, it returns this error: 'NoneType' object is not iterable #

The funny thing is; if I create the script to change what is selected manually it works, but selecting the node by its name doesn't. Any help is much appreciated.

There is no official documentation about the python operations related to the shaderfx. I enter the MAYA python command reference page, and search for keyword "shaderfx". Then, no result in MAYA "python command reference", and no result in MAYA "node and attribute reference". But I find that the MAYA script editor highlights method "cmds.shaderfx" as a regular method. And I find the similar method calls on Google.

So, where can I find the python method detail about the shaderfx? It's weird.

I am trying to set the Start frame with the renderSetup Python api in Maya 2022 like this:

I am trying to build a custom menu in maya.

google groups has this code and it shows that it works but when i try it does not show in menu bar for me. I have tried for hours. What else is required for it to show in menu. IOW why does it not show in maya menu bar.

Im working through some self-join examples and I am drawing a blank on the following example. Its the last example at the following link Self-Join Example

I am writing a program that will render the name and gender of people entered. The program should ask for a name and then for the gender until the user only presses Enter as the name. Only after Enter has been pressed, the text should be output for all persons. I have tried to implement some code before, but unfortunately I am not getting anywhere.

I have a question about a google sheet formula?

=SUM(COUNTIF('Signed Case'!C:C,{"Barry","Maya"}))

It seems that Google Sheet can only count the total number of "Barry" but NOT BOTH "Barry" and "Maya", is there a way to fix this?

Greatly appreciated, thanks and have a nice day!

I have an array of objects Like that.
