Hey , I found this article online about adding Python support to Maya LT using a MEL script to basically “transcribe” the python into Maya LT understandable terminology.

Could you by any chance look into it and see whether this would enable Maya LT users (read: Indie Devs with no money (read: me)) to use the A.R.T.? It would be so amazing.
