paramaters for create_network

[mnips]

In the v1.0.0, supplying dictionary as parameter to create_network is not working.

import ciw
import os
import random
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
def time_dependent_func(t):
    return np.random.normal(10,2)

def my_baulking_function(n):
    if n<5:
        return 0.0
    return 1.0

params = {
    'Arrival_distributions': {'Class 0': [['TimeDependent', lambda t : time_dependent_func(t)], 'NoArrivals', 'NoArrivals', 'NoArrivals']},
    'Number_of_nodes': 4,
    'Number_of_servers': [1, 1, 1, 1],
    'Queue_capacities': ['Inf', 'Inf', 'Inf','Inf'],
    'Number_of_classes': 1,
    'Service_distributions': {'Class 0': [['Deterministic', 12.0], ['Deterministic', 6.0 ], ['Lognormal', 15.0,5.0], ['Lognormal', 30.0,4.0]]},
    'Transition_matrices': {'Class 0': [[0.0, 1,0,0], [0, 0.0,1,0],[0,0,0,0.2],[0,0,0,0]]},
    'Baulking_functions': {'Class 0':[my_baulking_function,None,None,None]}
}
ciw.seed(1)
N=ciw.create_network(params)
Q=ciw.Simulation(N)
Q.simulate_until_max_time(100)
recs = Q.get_all_records()
df = pd.DataFrame(recs)
df.set_index('id_number', inplace=True)
df.sort_values(by=['node'], ascending=[True], inplace=True)
df.to_csv("output.csv")

My stack trace:-

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/ps/Desktop/temp.py", line 28, in N=ciw.create_network(params) TypeError: create_network() takes exactly 0 arguments (1 given)

Ok got it. Had to use :- create_network_from_dictionary(params)

FYI, this would work (it would unpack the dictionary):

ciw.create_network(**params)
