Create empty hip file using Python

[DonRomano]

Hey guys, 

I need to create some empty files with Python, and when I try with :

open("my_file.py", "w").close()

When I open the file with hou.hipFile.load() or with a Houdini subprocess, I get an error (Error : Unexpected end of hip file). It seems normal to me because I assume Houdini put some data even when the file is empty, but I'd like to know if someone here knows how I can create en empty houdini file, without having to open it manually and save it to override the existing bugged file.

Cheers,

Try using this command

hou.hipFile.clear()
