Hi,

Is there any way to add interrupt code to a Python SOP? I'm writing this email waiting for a loooong cook on a Python SOP with no (apparent) way to interrupt it.

In the HDK I'd add the interrupt detection code and Esc would work!

Cheers,

Peter B

What you want is hou.updateProgressAndCheckForInterrupt(). It returns True when an interrupt is detected and takes an optional percentage value.

It's not documented in 10.0…

hou.updateProgressAndCheckForInterrupt()

sounds like a made up function name …
this is not a science fair.

I know this thread is an older one, but I found it while looking to interrupt Python SOPs. The above method has been deprecated, and replace with hou.InterruptableOperation()

http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini12.0/hom/hou/InterruptableOperation [sidefx.com]

The docs have some usage.

Cheers!
I'm o.d.d.
