Problems when executing PlateFlex

[DarbyLima]

Hi Dr. Pascal Audet,

I'm tring to use PlateCurie but when installing the envinonment for PlateFlex, some issues occous as the messagem "WARNING (theano.tensor.blas): Using NumPy C-API based implementation for BLAS functions.

I'm wondering why this and I guess is due to some incompatibilty between Pymc3 3.10 and Theano. What version of Theano is compatible with Pymc3 3.10.

After installing PlateFelz in a new environment, this message is shown on screen:

(pflex) d:\PlateFlex>python
Python 3.8.13 | packaged by conda-forge | (default, Mar 25 2022, 05:59:45) [MSC v.1929 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import plateflex
WARNING (theano.tensor.blas): Using NumPy C-API based implementation for BLAS functions.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "d:\PlateFlex\plateflex_init_.py", line 157, in
from . import estimate
File "d:\PlateFlex\plateflex\estimate.py", line 57, in
from plateflex.flex import flex
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plateflex.flex'

It looks like plateflex does not exits or is in conflict with some package.
This is the list of all the packages installed on the environment:

Hi Dr. Pascal Audet!
I found out a solution! The issue was caused by a conflict between theano and numpy. I tested several versions of numpy (1.17.0 to 1.21.0) Then the correct version is numpy 1.21.0! (^^)
Now, I'm face another little problem... (--')... Save the results on a .txt file.....

@DarbyLima fantastic!! Thanks for your solution, and sorry I wasn't able to get to this sooner. I will keep the issue open in case someone else comes across this problem.

Do you mean you need to save the results, or the intermediate steps? I'm assuming you are talking about PlateCurie? You can check out the method save_results() of the Project class if you only need to save the grids of results as a .csv file: https://paudetseis.github.io/PlateCurie/classes.html#project

Thank you very much, Dr. Pascal! It worked!
