Python Tutorial: AttributeError: 'Simulation' object has no attribute 'get_flux_data' #370

Closed AniketPant02 closed 6 years ago

AniketPant02 commented 6 years ago

Hello all,

I am brand new to MEEP and FDTD. I am using a Python 3.6 environment with the latest Conda environment for Parallel-PyMEEP installed on Ubuntu 16.04 (fresh install). Upon running the Transmission Spectrum tutorial (_bendflux.py) it returns an error:

AttributeError: 'Simulation' object has no attribute 'get_flux_data'

How can I circumvent this error?

Thanks all for your help.

Hi. get_flux_data was added to the library after the latest conda package was built. I'm currently experimenting with creating nightly development builds. You could try creating an environment with the bleeding edge dev package like this:

conda create -n devmeep -c chogan/label/dev -c chogan -c conda-forge pymeep-parallel nomkl

That will have all the latest source as of a few hours ago.

Thank you very much for the speedy reply! Problem solved and saved me from a build from source. :)
