18.0.359

Changed hou.Node.createDigitalAsset() to use the same logic of where to install the HDA as the "Create Digital Asset..." menu entry on a node. In particular, this means that installing an asset into a path scanned by Houdini for assets will now install it to "Scanned Asset Library Directories" by default instead of "Current HIP File". The method now has a new input_path argument to allow overriding this default.
