Hans Ekkehard Plesser confirmed that the problem is on the NEST side and a fix is on its way:
https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/pull/953/commits/e12737a6f2c5035b9d7dfe123c9fbb602a26b3e9
The fix has been merged into nest/master. The newest version of NEST now works again with SPORE. I will close this issue.
When building SPORE for NEST 2.14 on a Ubuntu machine (artful) with python 3.6.3, I get the following error when generating the help information of the module:
Building the latest release of NEST worked without errors, this only occurs in our custom module.
There is a simple fix by enforcing unicode strings by adding an 'u' in line 244 of
writers.py
:With this modification the custom module compiles and runs without problems.
So, my take on this is that the behavior of
write
has recently changed, making it more picky on the data encoding, which should be accounted for on the NEST side.
