Submitting Python x64 scripts to Deadline

Deadline
1

Hi everyone,

I’m actually develloping a python script to trace some outlines on renders. I recently reach the maximum RAM python 2.7 32bits is able to manage, so I switched my setup to run on python 2.7 64bits. Everything works fine now. The problem I have now is that I’m unable to tell to Deadline to use python 64bits. I installed python 2.7 64bits on one of our render nodes, modified the render node “path” environment variable so the default python.exe is the 64bits version. But deadline is still calling the 32bits version. Is there a way to make the switch, or to explicitly call the 64bits in the Deadline submission script?

Thank you
Maxime

Hi Maxime,

I think you just need to configure Deadline’s Python plugin to use the 64 bit executable. I think it defaults to the 32 bit one.

To do this, enter Super User mode in the Deadline Monitor from the Tools menu, then select Tools -> Configure Plugins. Find the Python plugin in the list on the left and configure the path it uses.

Hope this helps!
