The 2010 version is old, and includes Pymel, which it needs. Maya 2011 ships with Pymel, so Pymel doesn’t need to be included with MmmmTools as of 2011.
Learning MmmmTools
A video is available that shows how to use MmmmTools. It shows an earlier version, and isn’t quite up to date, but it explains the general usage and installation nicely. There is also a page which shows some information on how to use the toolset effectively. Watch the video and/or read about how to use MmmmTools

MmmmTools has been used and tested with Maya 2010 and 2011, both 32 and 64 bit. It also hasn’t been tested on Linux or Mac yet, though it can probably be made to work on those.
Distributions of MmmmTools, including this one, usually contain other useful Free Software, not part of MmmmTools, but distributed together with it. It also includes an ability to download several useful scripts which are not “Free Software” in terms of licencing, but are free in terms of cost.
MmmmTools is still under development, but is already quite useful. The source code needs a lot of cleanup. If you improve MmmmTools, it would be nice if you would let us know and send changes back to us so that we can consider working your changes into the official version provided here. We don’t have any real system set up for this yet, but we hope to soon. Until then, please email us.
