[FLASH-USERS] FLASH's python tools

[Ong Jian Fuh]

Dear Ryan,

Thanks for your reply. I am using FLASH4.6.2 and I believe this is the 
latest version. I still need to replace /print msg/ to /print(msg)/, 
which is still in python2.7. Fixing the symbol with "!=" then many more 
issues exist as you suggested. Such as

  File 
"/home/ong/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/flash/flmake/setup_globals.py", 
line 204, in set
     if type(value) != types.StringType:
AttributeError: module 'types' has no attribute 'StringType'

Then I try using python2.7. and return the following error

Writing /home/ong/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/flash-0.1.egg-info
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "setup.py", line 207, in <module>
     run_setup()
   File "setup.py", line 199, in run_setup
     make_bash_completion()
   File "setup.py", line 118, in make_bash_completion
     import flash.flmake.__init__
ImportError: No module named flash.flmake.__init__

Is there any update from FLASH's python tools to python3? I am using 
jupyter notebook which run on python3.8.8. Switching from one version to 
another would be quite troublesome.

In addition, I am not clear what the following lines in the user's guide 
do and how it relate to the simulation

$ mkdir temp
$ cd temp
$ flmake setup -auto Sedov
$ flmake build -j 20
$ flmake run -n 20
