R23 compatablility

[JH-FP]

Hello, I'm looking to get this working with R23, at the moment it doesn't. After correcting for the Python 3 syntax difference, C4D just says that it can't import sgtk as no such module if found. And yet this exact code wrks fine back in R21. Any ideas whats going on and what can be done about it? Thanks very much.

Hi! I glad to hear, that someone uses my Cinema 4D plugin. I know that Shotgun and Cinema 23 uses python 3 from now, I even had a thought to rework my plugin for new python build.

But for a half year I worked at another company and don’t have access to shotgun and Cinema to continue development. If you have some questions, I will try to helf If I can.

Answering to your question, I think that Cinema in 23 version change something in plugin load process, and we need make some research to find what exactly have changed.

Hi,

OK, some I made some mild progress. I can get round the ‘can’t import’ sgtk bit by specifically adding the python folder within the project to my path. Although I’m not actually sure that this bypass is a good ideas, as I then get these errors instead (again only in R23, R21 is still fine. so I don’t understand whats being dealt with differently between the two):

So now it’s complaining about shiboken2 and Qt stuff.

You may well be right that R23 is handling plugins differently and thats cuasing issues.

@JH-FP, @danbradham I’ve merged you pr in my tk-cinema repository. It’s very cool that you made python3 capability. I will try to touch to shotgun-cinema setup in nearest week, maybe I will find some issues. Anyway thanks for you contribution in this stuff.
