HI
i'm making a python script which needs (well.. I'd say “i'd like to”) telnet houdini (which have ‘openport 12000’ from textport windows) .. everything runs fine if i run “telnet localhost 12000” from shell…. and telnetlib.Telnet(“localhost”, 12000) gives me no error. Netstat gives me a ESTABLISHED connection… but then i got nothing more..

write() gives me no output (hence i guess no errors)
read() gives me no output … (tried read_until() but i then have a stucked telnet session since there's no output back from my write() commands)

any guess?

thanks in advance.

cheers.

I haven't personally used the library you're referring to, but have you read the Python to Houdini section [odforce.net] on the odforce wiki? It uses the more generic socket library. Not sure of any advantage in using horrible old insecure telnet protocol…

Cheers,

J.C.

… yup thanks

actually that link ws my start… but after a week or so or learning python.. i went back to the “telnet” thing.. and i totally forgot i started from that Odforce page! ehehe… too much work.. i need holydays.


cheers

hm…. anyone knows how to “create shop from vop network” … with Hscript command?

since I'm going on with my little python parser.. i now need to create Shops from the VOP i just created.. using Hscript commands.

thanks in advance for any help.

cheers

…. any idea? :roll: :roll: :roll:

Use the help.


/ -> help -k vop
dsoinfo ophelp optype opunhide otwrite vopwritevfl
opglob


vopwritevfl looks promising….


help vopwritevfl
vopwritevfl

Writes code generated by a VOPNET to a file.

USAGES

vopwritevfl <vop_node> <vfl_file>

OVERVIEW

<vop_node> can be either a VOP node or a VOPNET node. If you
specify a VOP node, the command will use its enclosing VOPNET.
You should specify <vop_node> relative to the current node in
the network hierarchy.


EXAMPLES

| opcf /vex vopwritevfl surface1 $HIH/vex/Surface/surface1.vfl

Write the surface1 VFL code to the proper VEX subdirectory for
VEX Surface shaders.

hm…. iused the help actually.. but… then I'll have to compile the .vfl?
what i wanted actually.. was the shaders in my SHOP network directly.. like rightclick does.. but with a hscript…

i'll give a try to your advice tought…


cheers.

You may know this already or tried it, but what about using “opscript” after doing the RMB? When I want the hscript for an action or something else, I use “opscript” command and… ok go through the dirt it will give me.
I will try to have a look as I might need the same command soon.

Well once you have the .vfl saved out to disk you can use vcc -l myOTL.otl myVFL.vfl

Or like they said on the mailing list….as soon as you create a VOPNet in Houdini you can just go to /shops and opadd your shop there.

No problem. And even if the script doesn't work out, you've learned a bunch in the process.
