StarModel fails without pymultinest

[kcotar]

When importing the library or running the nosetests i get the following error:

File /anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/isochrones/starmodel.py", line 16, in import pymultinest ImportError: No module named pymultinest

When going through the code I noticed that there aren't any library import checks in starmodel.py as opposed to starmodel_old.py

mnest_available = True
try:
    import pymultinest
except ImportError:
    logging.warning('PyMultiNest not available; only emcee fits will be possible.')
    pymultinest = None
    mnest_available = False

Does the new model supports computations without pymultinest being installed or should we use the old model instead?

You can still do computations using emcee (though the built-in initialization may not be super-robust). Definitely should not use the old model. I didn't realize that was even still in the repo; I remove it.

[timothydmorton]

That having been said, I recommend using multinest over the current automated implementation of the emcee fits. I hope to improve this soon.

[timothydmorton]

Are you running current master? I do see the pymultinest import protected in the current code, and nosetests work for me.

Thank you for the answers.

I was able to compile everything and now I am using pymultinest.
