hou.setSessionModuleSource

[Johannes Saam]

hou.session.start()

hey!

Can someone help with an example on how to use hou.setSessionModuleSource( source ) ? i am trying to programatically add stuff to the current session i have a .py file with a one line function

def test():

print 'test'

in it only and i am trying hou.setSessionModuleSource( 'path/to/py/file' ) and i get a syntax error in my py file.. i might not be a python god but those 2 lines seam perfect to me

Can anyone elaborate on how to use this module?

Thanks

Jo

Setting the session module source is equivalent to editing it through the dialog, meaning it needs string data that contains your code, not a file path, as the argument. If you are reading from a file then you need to read it all in, then set the source.

f = open("/home/gthompson/tooldev/scripts/python/parmutils.py")
hou.setSessionModuleSource(f.read())
f.close()
