When Python is the interpreter, what is a good
design for the interface to the basic NEURON
concepts.

can't set global_ra

Post by vellamike »

Quick question: Why does a python program consisting of just:

Code: Select all

from neuron import h
testsection=h.Section()
h.global_ra=150
give the following error:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 2, in <module>
    h.global_ra=150
LookupError: 'global_ra' is not a defined hoc variable name.

Works fine on my machine with NEURON 7.2 (476:3ad72b90db90) 2010-11-02 under Linux.
I don't even have to create a section, and h.global_ra exists.
What version of NEURON are you using?

I am using NEURON release 7.1 and Python Python 2.6.5 on Ubuntu.

here is some output from my interpreter:

Code: Select all

>>> from neuron import h

>>> h.global_ra

Try 7.2 and see if that doesn't fix the problem.
