render to background using python

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to provide an option to render to background so my artists can continue working on their shots Houdini.  Currently in my OTL I am calling hou.hipFile.save() then proceed to trigger the render in background option in my mantra rop.  hou.node(node.path()+'/render/render').parm('executebackground').pressButton() 

Despite saving the file, when the render executes, I receive an error telling me to save the file.   Is there a better way to approach this?
