python Load new instance of houdini from current scene

[younglegend]

How do you load a new instance of houdini from current scene's shelf tool? hou.hipFile.load(path) loads to current scene.

import subprocess
subprocess.Popen(['houdini', '/path/to/scene.hip'])

Awesome. Thank you!

While on this topic, how do i do an event callback for the new instance?

I can do it for the current scene using hou.hipFile.addEventCallback(self.some_hip_event) But been trying to add one before it loads another new instance.

1) Have your code in hou.session module of the hip being opened 

2) Have your code in 123.py/456.py
