Maya, PYTHON: how do i select all but one in a list?
Question: # how do i deselect all objects except for my last selection?

When I'm working with 2 objects there's no problem because all i have to do is
toggle list[0] which would be first object that i selected (this is how i have
it working below).

    
    
    import maya.cmds as mc
    sel_objs = mc.ls(sl = True)
    mc.select(sel_objs[0], tgl = True)
    

thanks


Answer: You can replace the selection entirely with the last element of the list:

    
    
    mc.select(sel_objs[-1], replace=True)
    

`replace` is the equivalent to clicking on it rather than ctrl-clicking or
shift-clicking. The selection is cleared in the action of selecting the new
object.

`sel_objs[-1]` returns the last object in the list, just as `sel_objs[0]`
returns the first object.
