Rich – yeah, that’s pretty much in line with what I was getting at. -Nathan

In the knobChanged method, when you press the render button, the renderWrites class in initialized and started -- with an argument of the name of the currently selected Write node from the drop down menu. That is passed to the renderWrites class and provided as the argument to the nuke.execute function inside executeInMainThread. Nathan — Is this pretty much what you meant…?

I must admit, I'm having a hard time to grasp the solutions. Python panels are a black hole for me. Just today I ran into this issue once again when trying to add new trackers to a tracker node (node["tracks"].execute()). Nathan, do you know of any example scripts that uses your suggestions?

I started by using threading, but then found a different example that used thread, so I went down that road, instead. I’ll read up on the differences... t = threading.Thread(target=self.renderWrites) t.start() t.join() - You may want to consider moving the thread target function off of your dialog class, and just passing the Write node(s) to it via the Thread object. I was wondering about that - if it was a good idea to combine the two or not… - There’s no reason to use `nuke.executeInMainThreadWithResult` unless you actually need to get a return value. When I was getting nothing at all to work, I wondered if there was some result that I needed to wait for (just poking around in the dark), so that’s why I switched it. Then, when things actually started to work better, I never switched it back… - You need to pass the function and write node through `nuke.executeInMainThread` separately. Otherwise, you’re just calling `nuke.execute(writeNode)` and passing the result of that (which is probably None) to `nuke.executeInMainThread`. nuke.executeInMainThread(nuke.execute, args=(writeNode,), kwargs={'continueOnError':True}) I’ll have to let that settle into my brain for a bit. Still partly cloudy on a lot of how this is supposed to work… - A more idiomatic way to handle exceptions: try: # Something except Exception as e: print 'ERROR: %s' % e # Or whatever you want to do I did have… except (TypeError, RuntimeError) as e: print “ERROR:”, e But, wondered if I could get more info by trying to catch anything and everything… It didn’t help me diagnose anything better, though. Hope this helps. Yes, I’m sure it will, once I can digest it and try out some more examples. Thanks!

And, my code works -- *most* of the time... ...However, sometimes it gets a... "TypeError: expected callable object, NoneType found” ...and sometimes it gets a… “TypeError: ‘NoneType’ object is unscriptable” ...and sometimes it gets a… “RunTimeError: Cancelled” So, not too reliable!! (8^P If my co-worker Python-guru-friend was here today, I’m sure he could help me debug the problem. Perhaps someone else here could help…? So close, yet, so far...

As I try to exectute the render I get a RuntimeError: I'm already executing something else. One solution would be to use a Nuke panel instead, but I would really need a Python panel for this script. See short example script here: http://pastebin.com/NzStQNhk. I would really appriciate some help on this.
