Fail to write log output

[matthieutrs]

Hello,

This issue follow the resolution of #101 and the building of Pyxis from source. When loading some pyxis-smh.py/pyxis-smh.conf files, I get the following error message:

2020/07/14 17:27:44 INFO: redirecting log output to ./log-test.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".../software/pyxis/latest/bin/pyxis", line 45, in <module>

    Pyxis.Internals.initconf();

    _current_logobj = sys.stdout = sys.stderr = open(filename,mode);
ValueError: must have exactly one of create/read/write/append mode 

Would you have any hint on how to solve this?

@adrianjhpc solved this by changing mode="wa" to mode="a" in Pyxis/Internals.py.

Yep, I was about to push the same change to the issue-101 branch. But I'd like to sort out #102 while I'm at it...

[o-smirnov]

@matthieutrs, would you please let us know when you think all your previous scripts are working? We'll make a point release then.

[matthieutrs]

@o-smirnov we had to do 1 last change here: Pyxis.Context[mod] = sys.modules.get(mod,sys.modules.get("Pyxides."+m)); was replaced by Pyxis.Context[mod] = sys.modules.get(mod,sys.modules.get("Pyxides."+mod)); Our installation of Pyxis from source now works like a charm!

[o-smirnov]

Ah thanks. Now that was a genuine old-time bug that moving to a new Python exposed.
