PyCharm just sort of freezes for a few seconds, and then I get a bunch of log statements happening for Octane and for Redshift. It does this every time I run a script. Here is the full output I see to the console:

The name of the file I have open is "...\test_scene.hiplc" but the file name it is printing that is being called from the script's one function is coming out "untitled.hip". So two questions- first, is there any way to suppress the redshift and octane logs printing out (and is this actually running a standalone Houdini instead of interacting with the open Houdini session?) Second question- if this is a standalone session which is what I suspect that it is, can anyone point me to a better workflow so that PyCharm is controlling and evaluating what is happening in the open Houdini session and not creating a headless one? Thank you for any help/insight you can provide. I have followed a lot of solutions online for getting Houdini running from PyCharm and nothing seems to work.
