I try to add a Script SOP to my scene, but when I load in my script the script node signals an error:

Python error: file “<stdin>”, line 1
/home/groost/houdini/shards.py
Syntax Error: invalid syntax.

With the little error pointer on the first / in the path.



This seems to point to a bug in Houdini, methinks…
Not sure. Any help?

Could this be one of those cases where you need to make sure the expression language for the node is set to python?

It is set to Python.

Any solution to this problem yet?

edit:

#HACK!!!
exec(open('myfile.py').read())

works….
