Hi G,

Thank you for the reply.

1) could you tell me how to source houdini set to the $HFS path

2Could you tell me which file do we need to insert these lines into?

3)can we just open a new python file and paste this.

I have did

1)import sys

sys.path.append('c:\\Program Files\\Side Effects Software\\Houdini 11.0.547\\houdini\\python2.5libs')

and then after i typed dir(sys.path)

I was able to see the $HFS in the sys.path

but now

if i type

import hou

>>> import hou

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

File "C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 11.0.547\houdini\python2.

5libs\hou.py", line 45

raise AttributeError,name

2) I have also did set the path to point the $HFS/bin in the environment variables

Also it seems that I would need to set it up everytime.Is there a way for this.

Im getting this error.

Please guide me
