LOP Wrangle without incoming Prims May 14, 2025, 4:57 a.m.

Hey!

Is there any way of doing this now by any chance?

overriding sys.excepthook March 31, 2023, 3:50 a.m.

Hey!

I know this has been many years ago, but maybe there has been an update to this, since we would also like to do automatic error reporting

Is there nowadays a way to override exception handling basically for any python code executed within Houdini. It could be within
* Shelftools
* Python nodes
* HDAmodules
* Node/Parm callbacks
* ...


Hooking into
houdiniInterpreter.HoudiniConsole.showtraceback
for the Python shell worked, but no success so far for any of the other topics.

I also tried overriding the following:
sys.excepthook
houdiniInterpreter.code.sys.excepthook
houdiniInterpreter.sys.excepthook

Any input would be appreciated!

Cheers!

HDA node coloring March 17, 2022, 5:38 a.m.

If you don't want the color to be embedded into the HDA, you can also CTRL drag a color onto a node instace of your HDA. SRC [www.sidefx.com] DOCS [www.sidefx.com]
