Neuronvisio 0.7.0 released

[Michele Mattioni]

Dear all,

I'm very happy to announce the release of Neuronvisio 0.7.0

This release features the contribution of Uri Cohen
(https://github.com/uricohen), which has provided an integration for
Neuronvisio with ModelDB
(http://mattions.github.com/neuronvisio/gettingstarted.html#modeldb-integration).
A whole brand new tab will make easy to navigate the models written
for NEURON on ModelDB, and with one clcik, you will be able to
download the model, extract it, compile it and install it.

You can get the latest release from Pipy
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/neuronvisio/0.7.0), or just pull the
latest src from master as usual.
(https://github.com/mattions/neuronvisio)

If you have any issues report them to the MailingList, or open one
(https://github.com/mattions/neuronvisio/issues) and point us to it.

Thanks for using Neuronvisio.

Cheers,
Michele.

Hi Mike,

that's because the binary script is called nrnvisio.py instead of nrnvisio ...
I'll fix and I will release a new release ASAP.

Thanks for spotting that :)

[Michele Mattioni]

I've released the 0.7.1 bugfix and uploaded the new package on PiPy.

Can you try again and let me know?

Thanks,
Michele.

Hey Michele,

I'm still getting the same problem - I'm using neuronvisio 0.5.2,
could that be the problem?

Mike

Here is the trace I'm getting, think it's identical to the one I posted earlier:

Hey Mike,

I've tried the latest version on a virtualenvs, and it works here.

It seems pip is not downloading the latest version.
Try to uninstall the old 0.5.2 and install the 0.7.1

pip uninstall neuronvisio

and then

pip install neuronvisio

the first lines should be:

Downloading/unpacking neuronvisio
Downloading neuronvisio-0.7.1.tar.gz (2.6Mb): 2.6Mb downloaded
...

HIH,
Michele.

[Mike Vella]

That worked, but now neuronvisio is broken, here's what I get:

[Michele Mattioni]

Ok,

Paver was not picking up the new module. I had too add it to the pavement.
https://github.com/mattions/neuronvisio/commit/38ed6c25c9e267f0d964857d8ff62ee94e890a91

I've released 0.7.2.

Hopefully we have fixed all the packaging problem.

P.S.: Big thanks for testing this :)

[Mike Vella]

That worked!

As a side-note: For some reason after pip uninstall neuronvisio you
still have to do pip install --upgrade, if you just do pip install it
says

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): neuronvisio
in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): distribute
in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages (from neuronvisio)
Cleaning up...

I'm not sure why that is.
