Error with setting gr.params in GR notebook about reboundx

[dtamayo]

Hi Jerry,

what version of python are you using? I think there’s an issue with the installation wheels, which I’m trying to track down.

Does it work if you instead install REBOUNDx from source with

pip install reboundx —no-cache-dir

?

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the quick reply. It still does not work if I install with pip install reboundx —no-cache-dir, I get the same error.

My python version is 3.8.11.

[dtamayo]

That’s odd. Are you using conda or virtualenv? If so, can you try installing in a new environment and install REBOUNDx with the command again to see if the problem persists?

[wenhaoxuan]

Yes I am using conda. I made a new environment, and installed with pip install reboundx --no-cache-dir. However, I still get the same error.

Should I try a different python version?

[wenhaoxuan]

I went ahead and tried python 3.7 and 3.9, and it does work with these. So looks like there's something odd in python 3.8.

Thanks, this is helpful for debugging the issue. Yes could you try

conda create -n testenv python=3.11

?

[wenhaoxuan]

python 3.11 also works fine.
