Loading Houdini Python modules into Code Issues

[CinnamonMetal]

I'm hoping someone has successfully gotten the Houdini python modules to load into Visual Studio Code intellisense as I'm having problems; specifically with the settings.json setting, "python.autoComplete.preloadModules": "hou" ?

[probiner]

You got this fixed?

Adding

"python.jediEnabled": false,

And removing 
 

"python.autoComplete.preloadModules": ["hou"],

Seemed to have fixed it for me.



Cheers

I know about disabling Jedi and allow the Python Language server to take over which fixes the issues that were with Jedi. although, now I'm just having problems getting the environment variable setup specifically within code, hopefully soon

Hi,

Im new to python, Im trying to use vscode as external editor but it really sucks at being intuitive for a beginner...

Im trying to add the hou.module so I can see the functions but Im getting this error:

The setting 'python.autoComplete.preloadModules' is deprecated, please consider using the new Language Server ('python.jediEnabled = false').

my settings.json looks like this:

{

    "python.pythonPath": "C:\\PROGRA~1\\SIDEEF~1\\HOUDIN~1.287\\python27\\python.exe",

    "python.linting.pylintEnabled": false,

    "python.linting.enabled": true,

    "python.linting.flake8Enabled": true,

    "[python]":{},

    "python.jediEnabled": false,

    "python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [ "C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 18.0.287\houdini\python2.7libs\hou.pyc" ],

    "python.autoComplete.preloadModules": ["hou"]

}

Also wheeve I edit a .py Code tells me: Linter flake8 is not installed. And when I click Install is says: There is no Pip installer available in the selected environment. 

Im using:
Windows 10
Houdini 18
VS Code v 1.41.1
Python v 2.7.15 64-bit

@makah21803 You have single `\` make sure they are double `\\`. You don't need; "python.autoComplete.preloadModules":["hou"] that is only for Jedi as you see is disabled, just remove that line, completely.

[makah21803]

Thanks, I overlooked that.

...it doesn't give me the error now, but it still doesn't recognise the hou.module classes :/ 
(Ive tried without the [ ] brackets too)

Im using:
Windows 10
Houdini 18
VS Code v 1.41.1
Python v 2.7.15 64-bit

Any news?

No, I didnt manage to import hou classes to VS Code. I gave up and was doing it just directly in houdini

I found that new pylance python server doesn't recognize hou module. It works fine with old ms-python.python extension though

[sefisec]

"python.analysis.extraPaths": [
    "C:\\Program Files\\Side Effects Software\\Houdini 18.0.597\\houdini\\python2.7libs",
],

"terminal.integrated.env.windows": { 
    "PYTHONPATH" : "C:\\Program Files\\Side Effects Software\\Houdini 18.0.597\\houdini\\python2.7libs",
    "PATH" : "${env:PATH};C:\\Program Files\\Side Effects Software\\Houdini 18.0.597\\bin"
},

"python.languageServer": "Pylance",

That's what you need to have in settings.json.

VS Code will only show autocompletion if Project Folder is opened and File is saved in that folder (at least it's that way for me).

If I need to write a bit of a Python for current project, I don't open editor from Windows menu of Houdini, I just open houdini_temp directory as project folder in VS Code, and edit code directly in __python_source_editor.py.

And if you want to edit code from Python Wrangle node, then just after file opened in VS Code, save it with the same name, so Pylance could pick up it (and Project Folder should be already open).

That's what worked for me in my case.

Thanks, that helped. Also worth mentioning, that vcode needs to be restarted for changes to work.

I did what @sefisec said. But it is still not working. Here is my settings.json

I'm getting Pylance(reportMissingImports)

{
	"workbench.startupEditor": "newUntitledFile",
    
    "[python]": {},
    "files.defaultLanguage": "python",
    "editor.cursorSmoothCaretAnimation": true,
    "workbench.editorAssociations": [],
    "python.pythonPath": "C:\\Python27\\python.exe",
    "python.languageServer": "Pylance",
 
    
    "python.analysis.extraPaths": [
        "C:\\Program Files\\Side Effects Software\\Houdini 18.5.531\\houdini\\python2.7libs",
    ],
    
    "terminal.integrated.env.windows": {

    },
}
