A naive newby question...This may become apparent once I've worked through the examples but does it actually matter if yt can't be imported into and run from inside Houdini? ie. Is it just a matter of convenience to be able to run yt from the Houdini python shell rather than from an external shell? Or is the yt integration into Houdini much more involved than that? Skimming ahead through the tutorials, I can't see where any yt function is called from a Houdini node (but I could easily be wrong!). Is yt just for manipulation of data before it's presented in Houdini, meaning that the manipulation could equally well be done in an external python, say PyCharm, with only the results needing to be imported into Houdini rather than yt itself?
