Hey everyone!

Houdini 19 uses Python 3.7 (from 2.7 previously) which will require changing quite a bit of python code in existing HDAs.

Checking for the Python version inside of the HDA/SOP is cumbersome, so I was wondering if there is a way to tell an HDA to switch to a different version based on the Houdini version?

Or maybe another simple way that I'm not aware of?

Cheers!

Hi,

maybe you should take a look to Houdini Packages

https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/ref/plugins.html [www.sidefx.com]

You can probably setup and load hda libs according to Houdini versions

There's always REZ, if you're feeling like you need package control over more than just houdini:
