oct2py imports octave but hangs when calling an octave function. about oct2py HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi @KainoaCulverhouse, unfortunately the default behavior for the new Octave has changed (loading a GUI), and I have not yet figured out a backwards-compatible way of handling it. In the meantime, you can point to the new octave-cli program using from oct2py import Oct2Py; octave = Oct2Py(executable=<path_to_octave_cli_executable>).

Hello @blink1073, thank you for the reply I appreciate it. I followed your instructions and resulted in the following error:

from oct2py import Oct2Py
octave = Oct2Py(executable='/usr/bin/octave-cli-4.0.0')
octave.ones(3)
Traceback (most recent call last):

subprocess.check_output('which gnuplot', shell=True)

Any suggestions on how I can evaluate these feedback messages and how I can mitigate them?

Many Thanks,

Ah, sorry, I missed the fact that you were using python2.6. I no longer support Python 2.6, because it lacks too many features I've come to rely on, including subprocess.check_output. Do you have the ability to install the Software Collections Library on your system?

Hi @blink1073, thank you for the response I appreciate it.

I installed the library.

I have previously installed the 'pip' package to install the oct2py package. However, the packages seam to only be associated with python2.6, would you have any recommendations how I can go about having oct2py 'point to' or communicate with python3.3 rather than python2.6?

from oct2py.

Nevermind. I figured it out and have python2.7 calling functions from octave using the first step you suggested.

Appreciate the help.

No problem!
