Error: cp does not accept keyword arguments

[ques...@sky.com]

Hello All,

I have just tried a clean install of Julia and on adding IJulia got the following:

Found jupyter kernelspec version 4.0.0 ... ok.
Writing IJulia kernelspec to julia-0.3/kernel.json ...
============================================[ ERROR: IJulia ]=============================================

function cp does not accept keyword arguments
while loading /home/martin/.julia/v0.3/IJulia/deps/build.jl, in expression starting on line 66

IJulia built quite happily earlier today, so I can only assume something has been changed today.
Regards
Martin

This is a big one. It happened to me last night and it turns out that Julia crashes every time I try to call a Python library from it now.

I've just done a reinstall and it still hasn't fixed it.

I need this to prepare some figures for tomorrow morning, so I'd really appreciate any quick help.

Thanks,

Dave.

AFAICT, The original issue only happens when installing IJulia and is
because of the use of a 0.4 function in the IJulia install script.
Your problem sounds like sth to do with the PyCall rather than IJulia
so it is almost certainly not the same problem.

Well, you're right that the original problem comes from the install of IJulia. And it was generated because the IJulia code is using a version of cp() which does not exist in v0.3. But that was the only error generated and since then my julia crashes every time I try to use python from it (via PyCall, as you said).
