Houdini 19

I'm trying to use HouLEAP on Houdini 19 (Windows 10) and get this error in the initialize node: Traceback (most recent call last): File "Sop/LEAP_Initialize/init", line 1, in <module> File "C:\PROGRA~1\SIDEEF~1\HOUDIN~1.383\python37\lib\site-packages-forced\shiboken2\files.dir\shibokensupport\__feature__.py", line 142, in _import return original_import(name, *args, **kwargs) File "C:/Users/ei/Documents/houdini19.0/scripts/python\houleap.py", line 2, in <module> import Leap File "C:\PROGRA~1\SIDEEF~1\HOUDIN~1.383\python37\lib\site-packages-forced\shiboken2\files.dir\shibokensupport\__feature__.py", line 142, in _import return original_import(name, *args, **kwargs) File "C:/Users/ei/Documents/houdini19.0/scripts/python\Leap.py", line 28, in <module> LeapPython = swig_import_helper() File "C:/Users/ei/Documents/houdini19.0/scripts/python\Leap.py", line 24, in swig_import_helper _mod = imp.load_module('LeapPython', fp, pathname, description) File "C:\PROGRA~1\SIDEEF~1\HOUDIN~1.383\python37\lib\imp.py", line 242, in load_module return load_dynamic(name, filename, file) File "C:\PROGRA~1\SIDEEF~1\HOUDIN~1.383\python37\lib\imp.py", line 342, in load_dynamic return _load(spec) ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Do you have an idea what the issue could be?

Big thank you for this awesome integration! Best regards, Simon

Did you copy everything from the HouLEAP/houdini/scripts/python folder ? Looks like it can't find a DLL file

Have you installed a Python 2 version of Houdini 19? The default is Python 3, that didn’t work for me with Houleap, you have to go in to the download options on Sidefx’s website and choose to show py2 versions

I haven't thought of python 3 versions, but I checked code and both Leap lib and HouLEAP should handle it. I have tests to do on this

With the Python 2 version of Houdini 19 it does work :)

I investigated a bit this issue :

• I wrote HouLEAP code to be compatible python 2 or 3, so no problems here
• Leap official python library only supports pyton 2.7 for now

So until Leap releases an updated library that supports python 3.x, we'll have to stick to houdini py2 versions. I'll add a disclaimer on the readme to avoid further confusions ! Thanks for the report :)

A big thank you for your support :)

No problem ! Btw I closed the issue but I'm looking into shipping a modified version of the official SDK which supports both versions :)
