papsphilip Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I have two questions 1) how can i can update python 3.7.4 to the latest version Houdini 18.5.596 installed python 3 as far as i can tell, i previously had only 2.7 installed on my pc. Does this mean python 3 is available only for Houdini? How can i update 2) How can i pip install packages to that directory? This has been a problem before and i had to change pip to install by default inside the houdini python directory. Before that i would copy the packages from the default directory in C:/Python27 to the Houdini one. Is this really that complicated or am i doing something wrong? ideally i would like to have one place to store packages outside Houdini - the default directory that gets created when installing python on your computer. Just install python 3, pip install anything i need and have houdini use those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papsphilip Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 ok so as i understand the version of Houdini i have ships with python 3.7.4 compatibility. So i followed this very helpful tutorial from entagma and all is well. Still i dont know if you can update your python but my other questions were answered in the tutorial. Thanks Entagma!
