it has some missing packages like Distributions for jl?

I am facing that on my local Linux version as well. Will figure it out.

I'll add LaTeX libraries to the environment.yml file as well.

I'll add LaTeX libraries to the environment.yml file as well.

Best to uncomment the LaTeX installs in .github/workflows/ci.yml if you need LaTeX support on the build system

@mmcky I do not have permissions to push to this repo.

@orectique thanks.

Are you still working on the following issue:

PyError ($(Expr(:escape, :(ccall(#= /home/runner/.julia/packages/PyCall/ilqDX/src/pyfncall.jl:43 =# @pysym(:PyObject_Call), PyPtr, (PyPtr, PyPtr, PyPtr), o, pyargsptr, kw))))) <class 'FileNotFoundError'>

[mmcky]

@orectique not sure what is going on with PyCall -- I have installed it, linked it to python but no luck in getting the PyCall fixed so far.

[mmcky]

@orectique I would recommend the following workflow:

Step 1: Build a Jupyter book Project from the source files Step 2: Run jupyter-book over the project to build html etc.

That would reduce the complexity in diagnosing this issue.

If you have time this afternoon to make this refactor that would be great. @jstac needs this site up and running by his morning (US time) so I have some time tomorrow morning to integrate into the textbook site.

[orectique]

PyCall has been giving me trouble as well.

I'll split the script into two right away.

[mmcky]

Nice work @orectique.

When you get time (not urgent) can you document what the main issues were around julia and pycall and I might add that as configuration into the quantecon manual to retain this knowledge.

[mmcky]

@orectique can you confirm with the two py files do we only need to run

python create_code_book.py

or do we need to add python create_jb.py?

Thanks for confirmation.

• [x] I am about to push updates to publish.yml to mirror the Julia updates you added to ci.yml

[orectique]

@mmcky I've split create_code_book.py into two parts - create_jb.py (which compiles the scripts into the JB format - to be run when the scripts are updated) and build_jb.py (which basically runs jb build).

create_jb.py does not build the book. Both scripts will have to be called in succession.

The current workflow uses create_code_book.py. We can swap it out for the two scripts if you'd prefer that.

[mmcky]

thanks @orectique no I just wanted to make sure I was building things correctly on GitHub actions. I think in the future we will revert to calling jupyter book directly on the code-book files but this works well for now.

[mmcky]

@orectique once this passes are you happy for me to merge?

[orectique]

@mmcky yep. I think we can go ahead and merge.
