Hello,
My name is Tomas I am new to this forum and fusion and generation, but we use it in our pipeline and my friend keeps buzzing me to do some pipeline tools for it.
We came across epp, but we have some difficulties to make it work. I am just learning python so it might be the major case. but we went through steps in installation and ended up on some error with pip.
Would you mind give us some help with it or point us to some python source for both fusion and generation.
Thanks,
tomas

Re: epp
It would be cool if the community took EPP under its wing. That said I haven't touched EPP for generation in years now so I'm not sure if I'll be much help. We had EPP working for fusion 7 but have yet to try fusion 8. I now that the api was kinda half done in 7 but some of features were missing ( like a proper database) or just plain broken.
We did some scripting to build shot folders for projects. But never really used the automatic shot updates. Without a database generation searched through everything on our raid just to find a new shot. Our work around was to move older projects to a different folder structure. We only let generation look at current work (in a folder called _live)
We were rendering movies files for clients from generation which was pretty cool until dpx files were broken. I think that is fixed now but I've yet to try it.
Has EPP been properly updated for fusion 8 or did you grab the old Eyeon code to get it installed?
I might be able to get contact details for the guy who originally coded EEP. Apparently he continued working on it in his own studio. Maybe he could be persuaded to help.

Re: epp
not that far, I have installed all modules, but after trying to install epp-master.zip I got some pip error. So I would say 1st step
, but it could be my errors around.
Processing c:\users\..\downloads\epp-master.zip
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Traceback <most recent call last>:
File "<string>" line 1. in <module>
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: c:\users....\appdata\\local\\temp\\pip-rzz0dl-build\\setup.py
