Hello, I was wondering if anyone has dabbled with building a custom environment for Python development in Houdini. My goal is to simulate the hython shell in visual studio code and run my script with corresponding feedback in a Houdini session. The SideFx documentation on Command-Line Scripting is a great start. I understand bash scripting and setting $PATH variables but with that said I am a noob for creating this kind of interwoven setup and could use some guidance.

I am trying to install some libraries to the python install for Houdini and it is arguing with me. Specifically, I am trying to use SciPi and sklearn to do some interpolation for me, but I cannot seem to get them to work. The version of python (2.7.5) that comes installed with Houdini is too old to use pip to install the wheels I have for the 2.7 version of the libraries and when I try to update to 2.7.11 it broke in Houdini, which is prompting me to uninstall Houdini as a whole and reload it. This would all be able to be resolved if I could make Houdini use the system install of python 3.4 or 3.5 that I usually develop in. I tried copying the install of 3.5 over and targeting it with the HOUDINI_PYTHON_VERSION environment variable, but that didn't do anything. It still used 2.7, so I updated that version with the MSI installer, and it broke my help documentation. I cannot be the only one who is trying to use these libraries in their code? I suppose I could write a separate program in 3.5 to process my information, but it is just not as clean as having it all execute from inside Houdini. This is for a project that I am needing to get done, so if I don't get a solution this weekend, I will just write it as an independent program.
