Hello

I'm a new user, coming from a c4d background, but also a programming background.

I'm trying to import svg files (art made of a bunch of colored lines generated from a javascript I've made) and I realize that the built in Houdini .ai geometry import is not good enough.

All the scripts I see that will help to import my svg of ai file do not have instructions meant for beginners, so I thought I'd ask some specific questions here to hopefully end my frustrations.

Here's the script I'm currently looking at https://github.com/Aeoll/ae_SVG [github.com]

1: Do I need to install python 2.7 or is it ok with the løatest version?
2: I don't see how I install the pip packet manager manager, and I'm not sure that it's needed (is it, and how do I use it?)
3: How do I actually use the script inside houdini?

Thanks

This guy has a DEV branch. it is clear that he has not finished working with it yet. but I have python 3 on 18.5 - it started and works
