4 days ago I prepared a pull request (https://github.com/ESMG/pyroms/pull/24) that implements the changes described above. When I prepared that pull request I was under the impression that lpsolve55, though included in the source tree , is not built and that this is why a warning is issued when importing bathy_smoother. I see now that an lpsolve55 shared-object file is built. However apparently it is not valid as when importing I get:
ImportError: dynamic module does not define module export function (PyInit_lpsolve55)
Given that lpsolve55 is now available separately on GitHub.com and Conda-Forge I suggest that it be removed from PyROMS and listed as a dependency. I am preparing a new commit to implement this.
The current installation instructions (I've only looked at the python3 branch) are to run "python setup.py install" in the pyroms, pyroms_toolbox and bathy_smoother subdirectories. When I do this on Linux, everything gets built except the scrip extension, required by pyroms, and the lpsolve55 extension, required by bathy_smoother. I intend to improve things by:
I have done most of the coding and will prepare the pull request next week.
I have various other things I would like to do (PyPI package, Conda-Forge package, Windows support, getting rid of the need for special treatment for lpsolve55 and scrip) but I have to learn to walk before I can run.
