Supporting ComfyUI through Stability Matrix

[scott-wilson]

I'm currently running ComfyUI through Stability Matrix, and am trying to integrate the Deadline plugin with the environment. I managed to get it to work, but had to hack several things:

• The plugin assumes that the Python executable's path is ${COMFY_UI_ROOT}/embeded_python/python.exe. This is not true in our case.
• The plugin assumes that the environment contains the comfy package and extra packages in the current Python environment. This is also not true in our case. Also, it seems that injecting it via the PYTHONPATH env var doesn't seem to be working, but that might be user (me) error.

Do you have any recommendations on how to integrate Comfy UI via Stability Matrix with Deadline?

Hi! Thanks for reporting this. I'm not using Stability Matrix so I dont have much to add, but I'm curious about your setup - what are the main reasons you're using it instead of a standalone ComfyUI installation? Understanding this will help me see how ComfyUI and Deadline are used together in studios and inform my approach to further plugin development.

Thanks!

Good question. I honestly don't have an answer, since that wasn't my call to make. From what I understand, it's just easy to manage this way.

But, I have a potential patch where we separate the Python executable into its own config entry (and default to the current path if unset/not a path). Hopefully I can send up a PR.
