Houdini 17 can't finish every rendering

[Sunsheku]

Hello there.

First at all, I'm not English people. So please forgive for my English.

 

I have a problem with Houdini 17 (Apprentice, 17.0.416) .

I fail every rendering even on "Render View" rendering.

It occur at any project file.

Error message is this.

Failed to save output to file "Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/Houdini/Houdini17.0.459/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/houdini/soho/python2.7/IFD.py", line 102, in

filelist = glob.glob(unicode(path + '/wranglers/*.py'))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe3 in position 25: ordinal not in range(128)
".

I'm using macbook pro, 2.6GHz Core i7, 16GB RAM, Radeon Pro 450 2048MB.

This problem doesn't occur at my Windows PC.

Is it possible you are using a special character, that is neither a number nor part of the (English) alphabet anywhere in your scene (e.g. on your mantra SOP)? If so, do away with it and try again.

I changed all folder of Japanese character to alphabet, it worked!

It became able to render. 

Thanks

Hello guys!

I think I have the same problem just like this! However, the above solution didn' work for me...

I'm pretty sure that I've named the file path and output path all with English characters.

I just tested this with rendering a simple box and using the default mantra. 

I've tried both Houdini version17.5.173 and 17.5.229, and they showed the same error.

Any other solution? please?

By the way, I'm using an MSI notebook computer, Windows10.

 

Here's my error message:
