Re: use python installed with softimage

[Eric Thivierge]

When you install a new python / pywin you typically have to do the
runonce.bat to re-register things properly. Also note that typically the
last PyWin install is the one that Softimage will use. If you install PyWin
for 2.6 after 2.7, it'll pick up 2.6. This is from my experience at least.

You shouldn't need to re-install for Python issues.

Softimage reinstall helped, but I forgot about runonce.bat. Bet that would
help too! I've also removed python installation as well as pywin...

Thanks Eric, thanks Stefan!

Re: use python installed with softimage

[Stefan Kubicek]

Are you saying that even when setting the preferences back to using  
Softimage's "internal" Python version it would fail to initialize that  
scripting language? I never had this problem. Try renaming the external  
Python folders one by one and restart Softimage each time to see which one  
is offending. If that doesn't help I'm out of ideas.




Hi,

I have python26 and python27 on my C partition installed and now I am  
not able to enable python that comes with softimage 2015. When I do and  
>restart soft there is no python, just vb and jscript.


Anyone had and possibly solved this issue?

Thanks.
Ivan

use python installed with softimage

[Ivan Vasiljevic]

Hi,

I have python26 and python27 on my C partition installed and now I am not
able to enable python that comes with softimage 2015. When I do and restart
soft there is no python, just vb and jscript.

Anyone had and possibly solved this issue?

Thanks.

Re: Unchecking the 'Use Python Installed With Softimage' option has no effect: XSI still runs its own

[Tim Crowson]

Yes, the preference is still off after restarting.

But I think I have a good lead on the problem though: late in the day 
yesterday I found that the problematic machines don't have pywin 
installed! Kaching! I'll be the first to admit I need a tutorial or 
something explaining the relationship between Python, pywin, and 
Softimage. Installing pywin locally fixes the problem and Softimage 
correctly uses the system Python.


Now here's my next question: do I really have to install pywin locally 
on each machine, or can I not install it in our network's site-packages?

I have a situation where several of our machines refuse to use the system 
Python (2.7.3 64-bit). I uncheck the 'Use Python installed with Softimage' 
option, but after restarting, Softimage insists on using its own Python 
(2.6.4). Runonce.bat seems to have to effect.

Of course, the machine I use is fine, so testing this is a pain...

Any insight into why Soft would refuse to use the system Python (which again is 
2.7.3 64-bit, site-wide). It's jacking up our PyQt experience.

[Tim Crowson]

Ok thanks. We'll continue experimenting here. If anyone else has 
experience dealing with pywin on a network, feel free to contribute. I 
mean sure, we can install it locally if we have to, but that presents 
maintenance issues.
