Has anyone had any success with importing the hou module from python in a shell on macOS? I am currently running Mojave 10.14.1 with stock python 2.7.10 (fresh OS install) on my laptop, and have not been able to get it up and running. I found a couple of threads related to it from a few years ago suggesting it's not possible [www.sidefx.com], but I sort of figured it would be mentioned in the docs that it's incompatible on macOS. So maybe I'm missing something?

According to the docs [www.sidefx.com], you need to
import DLFCN sys.setdlopenflags(old_dlopen_flags | DLFCN.RTLD_GLOBAL)
But there is no DLFCN module for macOS.
Python docs [docs.python.org] suggest generating DLFCN if it's not available, though /usr/include does not exist. I'm not really familiar with these dl related commands.
I found this link [bugs.python.org] and tried to just manually replace
DLFCN.RTLD_GLOBAL
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/Applications/Houdini/Current/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/houdini/python2.7libs/hou.py", line 19, in <module> import _hou ImportError: image not already loaded
and also the otool steps here [www.sidefx.com] which did not seem to change anything. Not really sure where to go from here.
Thanks!!
