Uninstancer for maya

There are a few uninstancer scripts and plugins around, but I stumbled upon a bit of python that Peter Shipkov (developer of the SOuP toolset) which works great.  Here's a link to the page:

Here's the bit of code just in case the link or web site is somehow taken down at some point:

 # save the code below in file named uninstancer.py  
 # select at least one instancer node in the maya scene and run the next command:  
 # import imp; uninstancer = imp.load_source('uninstancer','/path/to/uninstancer.py'); uninstancer.uninstancer().main()

"This code will create animated individual copies of the base instanced objects. It supports point clouds with varying number of points - for instance - dying or newly created particles, or meshes with changning number of points over time.
Looking now at it before posting - i think it will not not accommodate for the case where the base objects have non-zeroed out TR channels."
