Thank you.
I have seen it there but had no luck to make it work.
I always get errors about the "with block". So my syntax must be bad.
Docu dais "end of the with block".

Can someone please help me to get the correct syntax?

Yu have to create and use a LopViewportOverrides object in a python `with` block, like this (assuuming you first drop a Torus node in /stage):
lopnet = hou.node("/stage")
with lopnet.viewportOverrides(lopnet.node("torus1")) as overrides:
    selrule = hou.LopSelectionRule()
    selrule.setPathPattern("/torus1")
    overrides.setVisible(selrule, False)
