same problem.

I can't remember how I worked around it, and it was a long time ago, but IIRC, you have to add the shapefile module to your path. It was convoluted as well, as in, a conda environment cranked up specifically to run H17.5 in this project. I'll try to circle back and post the actual resolution.

Download the .tar.gz archive from https://pypi.org/project/pyshp/#files and put the enclosed shapefile.py to your [USERDIR]/houdini/houdini17.5/python2.7libs/ directory (create if needed)
