Please download again. I've added meshCache.py instead of pyc. Now it should work well in any Maya.

Almost prefect! it worked on 2016 on one of my rigs but not a other, I figured out it wont work on Geo that had DeleteHistory used on it which is weird since its good practice I think to delete the history on the mesh before rigging

Probably you can make a check before and then import package you need? So versions under 2014 uses pyqt, whole newest pyside and pyside2?

Or simple remove support of old ones.

Also I've removed compatibility with Maya 2017 because it doesn't work there.

Redownload again. I've attached version for Maya 2016. I've found out that Maya's pythons are really different (and pyqt). It's bad. I really don't like Mayas above 2013 ))

That way you have install pyqt4 for Maya.

Author you should remove this since Maya has innate support of pyside.

Besides there a way to compile plugins into pyc if you wanna protect code. Though it won't work against decompiler. :3
