various utils rely on inschek about pyemu

[jtwhite79]

actually @wkitlasten I just finished adding python-based instruction file processing (checkout Pst.processing_output_files()). This is still pretty green and doesnt support all the complexity of instructions that are possible but it does support the most common instructions (at least that I use). So those calls to inschek are getting phased out and replaced by the python-based processor. Any particular utils are causing you issues? If you are going to add calls to inschek I recommend os_utils.run - it will eliminate issues around the leading ./ on linux and the .exe suffix on windows.

On a related note, I think it would be really nice to have statically-linked binaries for the most common pest utils included with pyemu (with some nice python wrappers as needed), I just dont have the make skills to get them all built for the 3 main OS's.

Busy man! Calls to inschek using os_utils.run are in setup_mflist_budget_obs and setup_mtlist_budget_obs (maybe others?). setup_mflist_budget_obs returns None when inschek fails, so maybe the best option is to just remove the "return None"? The user will get the error message but (hopefully) the df will be returned for examination...?

ok - I think we should migrate all those raw os.system("inschek...") calls to use pst_utils.try_process_ins_file() - this will use the new python-based instruction processing, esp since those utils write really simple instruction files. I can work that in pretty soon otherwise PRs accepted!

This should be done now - all instruction file processing should use pyemu.pst_utils.InstructionFile
