Hazoc Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I remember reading someone saying that Houdini has it's "own implementation of Python". What does this actually mean ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macha Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Maybe it means that you can access a lot of Houdini's functionality via the Houdini Object Model: http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini11.0/hom/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really see why HOM would be a such:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macha Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Ah, well, it uses the not-the-very-latest-version-of-Python, but I don't think that's a big problem. Perhaps that's what he/she meant. I don't think it's important. Don't worry about it. By the time such a thing would really become an issue for you, you've probably got other concerns than using the latest Python version anyway.

lukeiamyourfather Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 But it was mentioned as negative thing. Can you share the context of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symek Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 But it was mentioned as negative thing. Don't really see why HOM would be a such:) It's about python interpreter and Windows, where Houdini can't really use system python interpreter, because it can'be be sure it was complied with the same version of MVSC++ as H. So it comes with a minimal version of python compiled by SESI. It means there is a chance that one of your favorite python module won't work with it (specially if it has a c++ code in it ot it's a plain wrapper around C code). It happens. For Linux, Houdini's implementation of Python rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
