Hello,

Some modules visible to python are not visible to hython. Where can I set up paths for that?

thanks

I believe that all modules available to python should all be available in hython. Are they available in Houdini? Any modules in particular? Which build and platform are you running? There was a bug that got fixed on linux for 745 that was causing Houdini to not detect a valid system version of python and thus use its own version.

I am on XP H 9.0.725 python2.5 and I am trying to start pyro name server (http://pyro.sourceforge.net/ [pyro.sourceforge.net] ) within my HDA and I am getting import error. Everything works fine under python. But all of the additional pyro modules I have in a different location than C:\Python25\Lib

thanks

I've posted some info in this thread that may be useful:

Anyway, you can add the path of the pyro modules to the HOUDINI_SCRIPT_PATH environment variable.. So if your pyro modules are in “Cmy_pyro_path/python”, then add “Cmy_pyro_path” to HOUDINI_SCRIPT_PATH.

If your modules are not in a ‘python’ directory, then you can try creating a symlink/shortcut named ‘python’ pointing to the pyro folder and add the shortcut's parent directory to HOUDINI_SCRIPT_PATH.

I hope this helps.
