Python 3 - printing to console not working

Hi, I've downloaded Houdini 18.0.287 (Python 3), and for some reason I can't print to console when using a python node. Is this a known issue? any workarounds ?

thanks.

——-

EDIT: I'm actually getting some errors logged to console upon Houdini start, and middle-clicking nodes also don't show anything.

log:

Error running event handler:
File “opdef:/Sop/attribpaint?ViewerStateModule”, line 52
if basenode is not None:
^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

Error running event handler:

AFAIK, the python3 builds of Houdini are in a very early stadium. They probably do not have a public list of what is working and what is not.

I'm not sure if they even accept RFEs/BUGs for it yet.

thanks Manuel. yes, looks like it's still early days for Python 3, I just wanted to let the guys know, maybe it could be an easy fix

I am having the same behaviour on py3 builds only. Must be a bug, the only way I can get it to print to console is via
os.write
But that is not ideal...

Neither
print()
nor 
sys.stdout
seem to work.

+1 on this topic.

I just updated to Houdini 18.5 and also just noticed this.
I make a lot of use of this to debug, or provide feedback to the user. having to open the python shell to get information is annoying.

I'd like it to be able to output to the console on print like it has been able to.

You guys might want to check out today's build:

Houdini 18.5.458 Modified the Python 3 build so that it uses unbuffered stdout and stderr (i.e. PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1), which restores the behavior that was in Python 2. This fixes an issue where print outs did not appear in the Windows Console on Windows unless the `flush=True` argument was passed into the print function calls.

Oh, I missed the update! I can confirm this fixed it.
