Issue with mea-runner.py and make using Python 3.7

[colleen-j-brennan]

I am using MacOS Catalina with Python 3.7.

I followed the appropriate steps to install mea-tools. However, I got the following error:

colleenjbrennan@Colleens-Air mea-tools % mea view DIV_iLMO7-2_controls.h5 /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file '/Users/colleenjbrennan/mea-tools/mea-runner.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I am also not sure the build worked correctly due to the "deprecated NumPy API".

Has anyone been able to run mea-tools on Python 3.7? Can anyone offer any help?

Hi Colleen,

Unfortunately I do not have the ability to maintain this package as I am no longer working with MEAs. I suspect a bit of work would need to be done to move libraries to their latest version, but there is no reason it shouldn't be able to run on Python 3.7. If you figure it out, feel free to open a PR for review and we can get any changes needed merged in.

Best, Dan

I tried using mea-tools last week. I installed it at first in a python 3.8 environment and had various errors (on Windows 10 using conda). After reinstalling with python 3.6, the GUI would open but I had errors when trying to load files, so that I couldn't view any data.

I don't have the expertise to try to solve this. If I try again, I'll open an issue to share my details.

@dbridges: The video looks very promising, so I hope someone can adopt this project!

@p2jones: When you were trying to load files, were they in HDF5 format? If so, how recently had they been converted?

I tried the example files provided (csv) and also HDF5 files converted using the tool from MCS.
