How to removeUnusedInfluences in pymel

Question

I can't seem to find the command in PyMEL.

How do you trigger the removeUnusedInfluences command on a mesh you have selected using PyMEL?

Alternative to eval:

import pymel.core as pc
pc.mel.removeUnusedInfluences()

removeUnusedInfluences is a mel script. To get it from Pymel use the mel object's eval method:

from pymel.all import mel
mel.eval("removeUnusedInfluences()")

Thanks for the help! I was hoping there was a function for it within pymel for this but this will do the job just fine. – TheBeardedBerry Oct 25 '13 at 01:43
You can tell if a function is mel or part of the api by calling the mel help command on it - if it's a mel script rather than a builtin it will tell you where the file comes from. – theodox Oct 25 '13 at 02:59
