  Hi David,
  Try this:

  
  

  Step 0. Copy "bs_controls.py" and "bs_controlsUI.py" into your Maya scripts directory
  Step 1. Navigate to your Maya directory and go to Documents\maya\2022\prefs\scripts folder

  Step 2. Open the file "bs_controlsUI.py" file with notepad

  Step 3. Under the line "import bs_controls as bsCon" add a line "import importlib"

  Step 4. In front of the line "reload(bsCon)" add in "importlib." (The line of code should look like "importlib.reload(bsCon)"

  Step 5. Save the document

  Step 6. In Maya, Open script editor on bottom right of your maya

  Step 7. Press the "+" sign in the middle of the pop up window and click Python

  Step 8. Copy and paste the codes:

   

  import bs_controlsUI
  import importlib
  importlib.reload(bs_controlsUI)
  bsCon = bs_controlsUI.BSControlsUI()
  bsCon.bsControlsUI()

   

  Step 9. Highlight the whole code, middle mouse hold, and drag to the shelf of choice

  Step 10. Click the new shelf button you created to run

   

  To further explain, the script was written in python 2 language and we need to make it into python 3 language in order to run it. Cheers!

  Thanks! I had to do this in 2024 and I suspected it was python 2-3 related.
