Houdini Master Sluggish/Python Error

[gridMoth]

Hey guys, so my Houdini help is super slow at times, others not. I've set my PYTHON_LIB path to my homebrew install of /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/bin/python

 

Setting the path to that of Homebrew version seemed to work at first as Houdini was tossing up errors in confusion with the system Python(I believe). Now I keep getting this broken pipe with the Socket Server: Attached...

This is what happens on launch of the Help:   May 23 16:17:07 rP-macPro.local houdinifx[50735] <Warning>: void CGSUpdateManager::log() const: conn 0x4b3ff: spurious update.

Do I also need to set other env variables such as PYTHON_BIN? etc.?  If anyone can help me resolve this, I'd be super appreciative...

I think that is just the way help works. Sometimes I click and wait and wait and it finally comes up. Sometimes I see errors about not being able to connect to a port or something.

I've taken to using Google for most help these days, especially Adobe and other apps too.

Yeah, thanks Atom (I really like your work).  I mean, I always have the web version open, but I'd still like to figure this out as it can be very convenient while working with a deadline. Being a local connection, I'd think it'd be blazing fast. Also, considering sidefx just re-designed the help layout and structure in H15.5, I highly doubt it's intended to be this sluggish and throwing errors.
