I am trying this again with Houdini 17.5
When installing a version of scipy, I copy over the folders from anaconda2
scipy
scipy-1.1.0-py2.7.egg-info
into C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 17.5.173\python27\lib
then get this error when trying to import scipy in a python node e.g. from scipy.sparse import csr_matrix
Python error: Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
File “C:\PROGRA~1\SIDEEF~1\HOUDIN~1.173\python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\__init__.py”, line 77, in
from . import _distributor_init
ImportError: cannot import name _distributor_init
according to this source:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48423782/importerror-cannot-import-name-distributor-init [
stackoverflow.com]
I can comment out the import _distributor_init and in the __init__.py so after that I get this message:
Error
Python error: Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
File “C:\PROGRA~1\SIDEEF~1\HOUDIN~1.173\python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\__init__.py”, line 119, in
from scipy._lib._ccallback import LowLevelCallable
File “C:\PROGRA~1\SIDEEF~1\HOUDIN~1.173\python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\_lib\_ccallback.py”, line 1, in
from . import _ccallback_c
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I think this error goes back to the _ctypes.pyd in C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 17.5.173\python27\dlls
placing the_ctypes.pyd into that folder makes Houdini not start up anymore.
What now? Can anyone help out? Especially if you have windows, please write us if anything worked for you.
thanks in advance.
