Whats best way to run a GH definition from an external python script

[quicova]

Hello all,

I’m trying to figure out if it is even possible to create an external python script to run a GH definition, headless would be best, but is not required.

what are the best modulos to do this?
Rhino3dm
rhinoinside
rhino remote
rhino compute

my objective is to create a python file that I can change a couple of inputs inside the GH defition and run this defition several times for a list of inputs.

so far I havent had any luck in finding anything online.
can someone point me in the right direction please

Hi! I am also looking into this- so far I found some resources for running GH via rhinosyntax that someone else pointed at in a related post:

Running Rhino commands in Grasshopper Python

Alright I see…The only way to see what arguments these macros accept is to try it out in the command line… So I found out in try-and-error-style how to open a specific GH-file by script: rs.Command('_-Grasshopper' +' '+ 'Document' +' '+ 'Open' +' '+ 'somefile.gh') This still does not resolve for me the question why there is a scripting docu about Rhino and rhinoscriptsyntax, but none about macros… Nevertheless thanks very much so far Regards, Mr Sinter

RhinoScript's Grasshopper Methods List?

Hi, I have just learned that Grasshopper can be controlled via RhinoScript using: Dim GH Set GH = Rhino.GetPlugInObject(“Grasshopper”) and then ‘GH.Methods’ Is there a list of all the methods exposed to RhinoScript available? I was only able to find bits and pieces of it on Grasshopper3D forum. Jarek
