H16.0.736 Windows7
I have a 123.py file that imports another module. In that module, I have some code that is suppose to set the viewport to look out a specific camera. The code looks something like this:
import toolutils
defCam = hou.node(“/obj/defCam”)
scene_view = toolutils.sceneViewer()
viewport = scene_view.curViewport()
viewport.setCamera(defCam)* assume defCam has been already been setup
If I run this snippet from Python shell inside Houdini there is no issue. However, when it runs during initial launch of Houdini (double click on desktop icon), I get the following error:
Error running Python code:

No desktops are availableAny idea why it runs fine when inside Houdini but fails during startup? Is there a better way to achieve this? TIA
