Cannot access range variable from external mechanism
Posted: Thu May 08, 2014 7:02 pm
I have problems with accessing a range variable defined in the custom mechanism when using python as a interpreter. However, when working directly in neuron I have no problem:
I create a cell object L2_BC[0] from class where I insert a custom mechanism xtra.mod (see at the end of file for the code)
which basically creates x,y,z range variables for coordinates of segment centers. I also have a member function which I call from to calculate those segment centers. Unfortunately, when running the code with python as interpreters I get this error:
when using neuron only however, my code works:
Could you please help me resolve the issue, so that I could run the code with python as an interpreter
below is my xtra.mod:
