Hi.

I wanna use this MEL Code inside Python:
$name = "myName";
createAnnotation $name;

I Pyhton i try this:
name = "myName"
mel.eval("createAnnotation name;")


but "name" is inside MEL a String and inside Python a Variable.
So Python names the Annotation "name" instead of "myName"

Any idea?

name = "hello"
mel.eval("createAnnotation " + name + ";")
I like the old C based formatting, but there are many ways of doing the above.
