Hey everyone,

I'm getting this error when I'm trying to import hou in an external Python process. I've tried setting the windows path variables to no avail. There are a few other forum posts on this but no real solutions. Any ideas?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “C:/Users/ryan/AppData/Local/Temp/houdini_temp/ML_PDG_v006/pdgtemp/26912/pythonscript2_3.py”, line 9, in <module>
import hou
File “C:\Users\ryan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\hou.py”, line 28, in <module>
import _hou
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

Hi,


Same questions... input would be most welcome.


This is just for 2.7 - I need 3.x:

I've encountered this issue too using python 2.7 in Windows.

Are you using hython or python when you get the error?

Python. Interestingly it works fine on my workstation, I just can't identify the cause for why it occurs in some other systems.
