Selected vertex on mesh using python

[zoharl]

import pymel as pm

pm.select('pCube1.vtx[0]')
pm.ls(sl=1)[0].getPosition()


EDIT: Thanks, I changed mc to pm.

You should replace "mc" with "pm" and it should work.

You didnt say what vertex info you were interested in.
zoharl demonstrated how to get some position info, but that would only be its preTransform position, meaning not taking into account the transforms that may be on the mesh or its heirarchy.

Anyway, here's a more general answer.
Use the nice pymel method for getting the selected vert
v = pm.selected()[0]
Then use dir() to get a list of methods you can use to extract vertex info
dir(v)
You can use help() to see what parameters may be available
help(v.getPosition)
Then you could get various info...
v.getPosition(space='world')
v.getUV()
v.numConnectedEdges()
