Python Problem in Printing Result (OUT)

Hi everyone,

I am trying to utilize a metaheuristic technique called SOS to do optimization inside Dynamo, and Python.
However, I can not release the output of calculation in Python inside Dynamo, as below:

It would be nice if Dynamo can release similar output as shown by utilizing Visual Studio Code, as below:

Here I upload the code if you want to test:
SOS Code.py (4.3 KB)

Feel free to reply if you have any idea about this.

Thanks

Instrad of using print(), use the syntax OUT = variable. The Python nodes in dynamo always function in that manner, so print function doesnt really get used in this context.

Hmm, I’ve put OUT statement, but it is located inside of “def” (line 72). Unfortunately still does not work, as below:

I think there is a difference for Python inside Dynamo
anyway, thank you for your reply

Print statements in current builds should show up in the Dynamo console. Hit Shift+Up arrow to pull that open.

Hello,
the OUT variable must be declared (and set) in the global namespace

Thank you @RMohareb , It works.

Besides, thank you for your insights @jacob.small and @c.poupin
