Bug when 1.6-DEV installed

[PallHaraldsson]

FYI, I had older julicall version, that apparently had downloaded Julia 1.7.2 already but then some different error. I got the latest juliacall with pip3:

$ python3.6

Now I have 1.7.0 (not 1.7.2, should matter), and no longer 1.6-DEV in PATH, and I still get similar or identical error/behavior:

"WARNING: You have Julia None installed but ^1.6 is required." I suppose it's not looking at the PATH, rather some hardcoded location?

[cjdoris]

You can ignore that warning, it was being printed by mistake. I've fixed it.

That AssertionError in the original post is bad though. Maybe your anti-virus quarantined the Julia executable?

[PallHaraldsson]

I have no anti-virus, I'm on Linux...

[cjdoris]

Still having this issue or can I close it?

[PallHaraldsson]

In short I believe you can close. I didn't test the same config, e.g. no longer have Python 3.6 after update of Ubuntu.

I wrote a lot here, about testing both Example 1 and 2, with my current config, and Matplotlib part of docs could be improved since unclear, but then the web browser crashed...

[cjdoris]

Ok I'll close this thanks.

Feel free to open more issues about documentation and the like. It helps me a lot of issues are about a single thing, so if you have N things to discuss then it's best to open N issues. Thanks.
