Hi everyone,
I'm trying to work out how to get all the prims in a geometry that have a particular attribute using python. For example, in Vex I can do
expandprimgroup(0, "@name=whatever")
and get all the prims where the name attribute is "whatever". The nearest I can find in python is
hou.Geometry.findPrimGroup("group_name")
but that only appears to work with defined groups and not by attribute matching.
I feel like this is a pretty simple one, but I can't find what I need. Any ideas?

hou.Geometry.globPrims("@name=whatever")
is probably what you want.
