Import a specific hip into my scene as a python shelf button

[abvfx 99]

Hi there, 

I'm not a very competent python user. I can read it but im at the stage where i can create it. I am looking to build a shelf button that will import a specific file on disk into my scene using a single button. The location of this file will not change.

This seems like a simple series of commands but im lost as to how to do it. 
Any help my hoodniks.

hou.hipFile() is what you want :

more specifically the merge() method
