Hello guys,
I need to create an empty file with python (for pipeline things), unfortunately I can't find any method that does this in the hou module.
Is there a way to create one correctly ?

I try to use open(“mynewfile.hiplc”, “w”).close() but when I want to open it I get “Unexpected end of hip file”, and that seems normal because I guess there is some sort of data that needs to be parsed when we save an empty file from houdini.

I guess it's possible to do it by launching a subprocess of houdini that saves an empty scene but it's less straightforward than just creating an empty scene with one command.

If anyone has an answer I'd take it!


Cheers,
