Problem during restarting a file from seed

[arnab37]

Hi,

I was trying to understand how restarting works in rmg using ethane oyrolysis input file from rmg webste. To understand that, I initially ran that without "restartFromSeed(path='seed')" and after that I ran another file after adding "restartFromSeed(path='seed')" before the data sources.

I am getting the following error message:

Error: The input file "/home/abose/input.py" was invalid:
Error: name 'restartFromSeed' is not defined
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/abose/yes/envs/rmg_env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rmgpy/rmg/input.py", line 541, in readInputFile

restartFromSeed(path='seed')

I would really appreciate if anybody could help me with this issue.
Thanks,

Hi Arnab,

Based on the traceback, it looks like you are using an old python 2 version of RMG-Py. Unfortunately, this feature did not become available until recently with python 3. We did incorporate these changes into our legacy python 2 branch v2.5.0, but if possible I highly recommend upgrading to RMG-Py 3.0.0. You can find instructions for updating your RMG installation here.

Let us know how this goes!
