Python Shell Freezes Houdini

[Vinz9]

Hi,

I'm running Houdini 10.0.401 on a mac under windows64.

I'm just starting with python in Houdini but sadly some simple procs like

def dupobj(objet,nr):
    objn = hou.node('/obj')
    for i in range(nr):
        curCopy = hou.copyNodesTo([myNode],objn)
        n = curCopy[0]
        dest = 'sticky'+str(n.digitsInName())
        n.setFirstInput(objn.node(dest))

def conobj(nr):
    objn = hou.node('/obj')
    for i in range(nr+1):
        src = 'path'+str(i)
        dest = 'sticky'+str(i)
        objn.node(src).setFirstInput(objn.node(dest))

stored in hou.session and executed from the shell freezes houdini most of the time.

If I manage to have it work once, once my scene is launched it always works, but most of the time, if I launch Houdini, and then load my scene and execute one of the procedures, houdini freezes directly with no error.

Thanks a lot for any help

Yep, same here.

Amongst the first line in the Hom intro tutorial in the docs (hou.node('/obj').createNode('geo')

), freezes up every time. But only on My workstation. Another one works fine :/

Both x64, build 401 and 374.

Wops, and I solved it.

Just installed the corresponding python release manually.

Nope, its back again

I am also having the same problem, using windows 7. It worked just one time but freezes all the time on just executing a simple command.

root = hou.node("/obj")

root.createNode("geo")

If any one finds the solution please post it.

HI,

I manage to solve it by reinstalling Houdini. As I am using the apprentice version, so during the installation i did not select licence server to get install instead i selected Apprentice licence. After the installation it worked fine.

I think the problem was accessing the licence server (maybe), Any way now it works.
