Rename Character HumanIK through code

#1

There is an option to rename existing characters set up with HumanIK. I want to script this. Any ideas?

#2

Got it figured out.

#rename rigs
import maya.cmds as cmds
import maya.mel as mel
name= "HIK"
for char in cmds.ls(type = "HIKCharacterNode"):
    #rename HIKCharacterNode
    new_name = cmds.rename(char, name)
    #rename Character
    mel.eval('hikSetCurrentCharacter("{}");'.format(new_name)) 
    mel.eval('hikRenameConnectedNodes("{}","{}");'.format(new_name, char))
