hython.exe -m ensurepip --upgrade

hython.exe -m pip install somePackage

I usually do it like that.

And with -t you can specify a target folder outside of Houdini to keep things more manageable.

hython.exe -m ensurepip --upgrade

hython.exe -m pip install somePackage -t "somePipelineFolder\python3.9\site-packages

"

Then in houdini use something like

import sys

sys.path.append("somePipelineFolder\python3.9\site-packages")

After which you can simply import your packages. Nice thing about this ways is that it survives Houdini uninstalls/updates etc as long as the python version stays the same.

python.exe -m ensurepip --upgrade
