Getting a python stage object using the Autodesk plugin

[pmolodo]

So, if you have an autodesk proxy shape, and you've built with ufe support, I know you can do:

import mayaUsd.ufe
stage = mayaUsd.ufe.getStage('|dummy_ufe_root' + proxyShapeFullPath)

However, what if you just have a pxrUsdStageNode, not a proxy shape? And/or if you've compiled without ufe support?

We have a GetPrim query exposed to python that allows you to access the stage. It will work when you compile without UFE support, but it requires a DG node to inherit from UsdMayaUsdPrimProvider:

maya-usd/lib/mayaUsd/utils/query.cpp

Line 37 in 91994c0

UsdPrim UsdMayaQuery::GetPrim(const std::string& shapeName)

Stage node does not inherit from it, so you won't be able to use this query, unfortunately.

I'm curious about your workflow with stage nodes - can you share some more details about it?
