HDF5 module has unit testing, we need tests for other modules too.
Cf. ALPSCore/ALPSCore#43.

/usr/ports/science/py-alps/work/ALPSCore-Python-40d9ca2/hdf5/src/./hdf5.hpp:25:10: fatal error: 'boost/python/numeric.hpp' file not found
#include <boost/python/numeric.hpp>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Based on the internet search, it was probably present in boost-libs-1.55.0.

Hello,

I am trying to build this module on my laptop (Mac OS X 10.11.16) with mpicxx-openmpi-clang38 (macports) and boost 1.59.0 (with the boost mpi library).

I got the following error message, indicating that the boost mpi library is not linked.
After exploring the ALPSCore libraries, I found that the target libraries are actually set here:
https://github.com/ALPSCore/ALPSCore-Python/blob/master/common/cmake/ALPSCommonModuleDefinitions.cmake#L178

It seems that we need to add boost::mpi as well.
Is my understanding correct?

Best,
Hiroshi

As Andrey (@aeantipov) has pointed out, PyBind11 is header-only, but requires C++11 (see issue ALPSCore/ALPSCore#121).

We may be OK with relaxing the C++03-only requirement for ALPSCore-Python.

Moved from ALPSCore issue ALPSCore/ALPSCore#118.

"make test" does not succeed with the latest ALPSCore.
Typical errors are shown below.
Do you reproduce this problem?

It seems it is an issue with proper NumPy initialization (debugging shows that the code tries to access a global variable initialized to NULL). The corresponding test is disabled for now.

Hello,
Do you have any plans to implement a Python interface of the gf library?
I am asking this because we're planning to implement a Python DMFT framework based on ALPSCore.

The name of the exported class alps.hdf5.archive does not conform to the Python style guidelines (classes capitalized and in CamelCase).
