Make warnings for unavailability of extensions less confusing #669

Closed apdavison closed 3 years ago

apdavison commented 4 years ago

PyNN prints warnings if certain extensions cannot be installed, e.g. the accelerated CSAConnector based on libneurosim and some additional NEST models.

These warnings are confusing: several people take them to mean that PyNN has not been correctly installed (e.g. #668, there are others).

The warnings should be rewritten to avoid such confusion.

[Note that installing the NEST extensions should also be made easier].
