Hi,
Since a couple of Rhino 8 updates ago I started to get that opening Rhino crashes/closes when loading GHPython.
No reporter popup window appears. Rhino just closes. Pretty annoying.
I manage to open after trying 2 or 3 times. This is the screen i get at the second time I try.
My current version is 8.8.24163.12481, 2024-06-11.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Sadly it is still happening, even after updating to the latest service release (candidate).
Thanks,

Isnt ghpython not supported on rhino8? There is a scripteditor.
I would delete that gha file…
GHPhyton is pretty much alive and supported on R8.
In any case, previous versions loaded just fine, it just started to crash recently.
Thanks,
-A.
Yes, but is it actually loaded from GhPython.gha file or from scripteditor?
They are loaded fromGhPython. To edit the “old” python you need to call gh since the editor is not available on the GH menu. Probably they are fading it out but it will take some time until then.
The new scripteditor uses Python 3.7 (I think).

GhPython loads last as it attempts to gather a bunch of information about other components in order to allow for nodeincode. I suspect there is a different gha at play here that is causing the problem. I would try running GrasshopperLoadOneByOne and skip ghas from third parties to see if we can determine if that is the case.
Hi @stevebaer,
I encountered the same problem with ghpyton.gha component (after I tried grasshopperloadonebyone as well).
Are there any solution or suggestion about it?
Thank you
@fn_a did this ever get fixed for you?
Not for me … sometimes it takes many trials to get it work [most of them], sometimes it runs fine [very few of them].

Do you have 3rd party GHAs installed?
Yes I have plenty of them. I didn’t get the time to try your suggestion of uploading one by one. This is my fault but still, very annoying.
Now i have a new computer and I’ll just install what i really use. But I’ll be using both the old and new machines.
What I can tell is this behavior started after some Rhino update, since it was working just fine before that.

Hi @stevebaer,
to date the problem persist with last Rhino 8 release as well…
and the question is related when Grasshopper load ghpython. When I tried to set up in NetFramework, Rhino 8 crash and and now I need to open it in safe mode to restore in NetCore.
Hoping in a solution…
The same question goes to you then. Do you have 3rd party GHAs installed? I suspect the problem is coming from a 3rd party plug-in which is why running GrasshopperLoadOneByOne and blocking the loading of different GHAs helps with the investigative work to determine where the problem is coming from.
Started to test this [uploading one by one]. Have to say it is not consistent. When uploading until it crashes, I took out the last one and then it crashed again with the group of GHAs that was working until that point. The same happened with some other GHAs.
Right now I’m leaving most of the GHAs out.

Hi @stevebaer,
I tried Gh loadOneByOne and I confirm that the problem is on
C:\Program Files\Rhino 8\Plug-ins\Grasshopper\Components\GhPython.gha
Thank you
Same issue here on Version 8 (8.20.25157.13002, 2025-06-06)
Then I tried
and it turns out the FabTools plugin chrashed everything. I thinkt the plugin didn’t do anything for me anyways as it wasn’t supported anymore, and I probably only forgot it in the plugin folder… so Thanks @stevebaer for the hint!
