I am using the latest apprentice version at home
at a windows xp machine with a compatiable python shell.

I can not create any node type at all, as soon as I run the function
Houdini freezes. I have tried re-installing the program and the same thing
happens.

any ideas?

Thanks

Can you post an exact example of the code you are trying to use that is crashing?

Does this work?
hou.node(“/obj”).createNode(“geo”)

no that does not work either.
it just crashes, I've have seen this same error posted in some other forums
but no solution has been posted.

the code I was trying was this.

obj=hou.node(“/obj”)
mNode= obj.createNode(“geo”)

but pretty much any sort of node that I put into the createNode parameter
will make it crash

im on windows xp x64.

it happens to me sometimes, too. not all the time. and only if i try to create >100 nodes via python (eclipse/pydev environment)

it just freezes houdini and i have to close the program.

weird thing is, if i reduce the number of nodes i am creating, it seems to work. and then, if try creating >100 after that - it works too.

if i drop all the code into a code SOP, it runs fine as well.

specs
windows xp x64
4 gigs ram
3.0 ghz cpu
eclipse ganymede
pydev (current rev.)
houdini 10.1

this happens to my script. seems like a threading issue.
edit:
for anyone having the same problem as me, open your hipfile in hython and run the script there.
seems like a GL or GUI issue.

You logged a bug for this, right?
