On a render manager like qube, isn't there already a way to get that information for each frame?

I don't think it's possible without cutting the mesh. The bevel tool can't modify the topology like that.

On linux you can use your own terminal, although it is convenient to get a shell with all the right environment variables already set. The built-in shell only works if you have xterm installed.

I think you can get houdini to use a different python interpreter, but you'll have to read the docs on how to do that.
