Hi @dantaeyoung , Thanks so much for the feedback, I'm glad that you like it.
C:\GH_CPython
is the default path where temporary python files are saved.
Should I add a save as
and open
options to GH_CPython to specify custom path or do you have other recommendation?
I think it is time to start working on a Grasshopper and Rhino modules for GH_CPython to make the best of their features.
Thanks so much. Regards, Mahmoud
Ah hmm. My use case isn't saving temporary python files, but creating custom modules.
For example, if I may want to create a small helper module called helpers.py
in the same directory as my .ghx
file, so I can import and call from my GH_CPython module, keeping my code neat. It would be convenient to have the directory path exposed from GH_CPython so I can do add it to the sys.path -- this way, the .ghx
and helpers.py
file can move together as a bundle and users don't have to worry about keeping track of paths.
I've found a workaround, which is get the current directory from GHPython, and then pass it to GH_CPython! I can live with this for now.
Like you said, I think having GH/Rhino modules exposed would probably solve this problem - really looking forward to seeing GH_CPython grow!
Thanks so much @dantaeyoung for this useful feedback.
I'll start working on this problem now, and give you the results as soon as possible.

Hi @dantaeyoung ,
I have added these two features,
Grasshopper.doc.DisplayName
Grasshopper.doc.FilePath
for example:
import Grasshopper as gh
a = gh.doc.FilePath
b = gh.doc.DisplayName
I noticed that the previous solution wasn't good so, I have modified the code as follows:
Use ghenv.fileName
to get file name,
and ghenv.filePath
to get file path if saved.
Wow, thank you! this works wonderfully.
Thanks so much!.
Hi @MahmoudAbdelRahman , thanks for such a wonderful project - really excited to have 'real' Python in Grasshopper.
Is there a good way to access the GH file location from within GH_CPython?
I'd like to write some Python in the same directory as the .gh file and import those files. However,
os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
is returningC:\Gh_CPython
.Thanks!
