[pdal] filters.python failure

[Karl Keller]

Update on the non-running validation steps.  After researching various paths, like PDAL_DRIVER_PATH and _CONDA_SET_PDAL_PYTHON_DRIVER.  Paths appeared to be pointing to the filters.python executable.  Since that appeared to be correct, I just installed PDAL 2.2.0 over the python-pdal installation of PDAL already existing.  Processing proceeded as normal afterwards, so it's just part of my build process now.

On a different note, I'm noticing a rather lengthy step in transformation application to clouds of approximately 20M points.  Upwards of 5 minutes per file on a large box (128 GB ram, 1 GPU/1GB, fast drive).  Just curious if this is normal or suggestive of a problem.  Others have the same experience?

Thanks!

Subject: filters.python failure

Hello,

A previously working filters.python pipeline running in Windows suddenly failing on a different Windows machine.  Running a lot of other filters in this pipeline successfully.  Unfortunately, this is my next to last filter.

I ran into what looks like a fault (python just drops to the command line) while running a pdal pipeline with filters.python.  It neither validates nor executes the pipeline.  All other pipelines are validating and executing.

Details:
Running python 3.8.13 (on previous machine I was on 3.8.8)
Using conda 4.12.0 for environment mgmt and installs
Installed python-pdal == 2.3.7 which installed pdal 2.4.0 (previous machine shows pdal 2.2.0)
pdal -drivers shows filters.python

All I can assume is that a path, somewhere, isn't establishing the location of that plugin.

Any help much appreciated.
