Is there a python version of opadd … specifically getting a list of all operators? Workarounds would be great. Thanks.

Hi Rob,
If you look at the help card for opadd you will see it's python equivalents

“Replaced by hou.Node, hou.NodeTypeCategory ”

As Jenny mentioned the best way to get a list is use the node type category classes and take advantage of their nodeTypes() method. This method gives a dictionary with the node type name as the key and a hou.NodeType object as the value.

The equivalent of just using opadd while at /obj is something like this.
nodetypes = hou.objNodeTypeCategory()
for ntype in nodetypes:
print ntype

Hi Graham:

The code that you submitted returns errors.

nodetypes = hou.objNodeTypeCategory()
for ntype in nodetypes:
print ntype

Here's the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<console>”, line 1, in <module>
TypeError: ‘NodeTypeCategory’ object is not iterable

Oops. Sorry about that Frankie. Guess it's always best to check code before posting. The correct first line should be the following:
nodetypes = hou.objNodeTypeCategory().nodeTypes()
