The Studio Pack is designed to improve workflow for animators and riggers based on years of professional experience. The pack is all Python and validated on Maya 2008 upwards. It includes a Python Snap plugin used throughout the Animation toolset to snap nodes together regardless of pivots (this is not a simple delete(parentConstraint)) Check out the freewareRed9 StudioPack for Maya here.
