pymel how to get right type of selected node
I'm starting exploring python in maya (pymel) and I have a problem with getting right type of selected object.
In outliner I have selected camera but when I'm executing code below it's returning type "transform". How to get right type ("camera")?
from pymel.core import *
selection = ls(sl=True)
print(selection[0].nodeType())
Solution
The camera construct is a combination of a transform node and a shape node. You selected the transform node so the output is correct. Either select the shape node below (make shapes visible in the outliner display menu) or simply do a selection[0].getShape().
