Hello Folks,

I'm just starting to learn python in houdini and I notice that the autocompletion doesnt work regulary. Is there something I need to setup? Or is there a workaround for this?

Best wishes,
Nicolas

Hi, a good thing to know ( if you don't already ) is that houdini will prompt all the methods of an object if this object is stored in a variable.
if you type :

hou.node('/obj/geo1'). …. # houdini will prompt nothing

#but if you put the object in a variable, and then call a method on this variable

n = hou.node('/obj/geo1')
n. … # this will prompt every available method



Hope it helps

This quirk I detest wholeheartedly. Pain inducing for newcomers to Pyton//Houdini.

For me it is the exact other way around. If I just use hou.no... it will give me all options, but if I use geo.add... there is nothing. Really frustrating.
