Python: Octane node hangs

This python code is hanging houdini : hou.node('/shop').createNode( 'octane_vopnet' ). Works fine if the node is a mantra node. We are building a "uber" shader network with some promoted parameters to be more artists friendly and serve as a lookdev starting point. When we call this node in a python script (this script automates some image map connections) we get a frozen houdini.

Houdini 15.244
Octane 2.24.2

Thanks

I have not here the same version that you are using, but with H15.0.347 and the plugin 2.25.0.0 this python command seems to work fine.

Do you have this problem if you type the command in the python console in an empty scene, like in the attached image? I can install the Houdini and plugin versions that you have to try to reproduce it.
