Hi

TLDR: Where might I find the install location of the python interpreter that Houdini uses so I can use it in visual studio code.

I'm trying to find the python interpreter that Houdini uses on a Mac.
I got visual studio code that I'm to point to use the same python interpreter that Houdini uses.
Looking in "/Applications/Houdini/Houdini18.5.408/Utilities" I can see that there's a "Houdini Terminal" application. When I launch it and type "python" I seem to launch the python interpreter and I can do prints etc. But I can't seem to import the hou module without getting an import error. I've tried to point visual studio code to the "Houdini terminal" app but it doesn't seem to like doing that.

Thanks

If you might still be looking for the path - for Houdini18.5.462 it is:
/Applications/Houdini/Houdini18.5.462/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin
