hopefully mpi4py is now optional for all of mock observables....

Looks like Travis build is still failing. @eteq - I could be wrong, but the error appears to trace to a bug in _astropy_init.py.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "halotools/_astropy_init.py", line 111, in test
coverage=coverage, open_files=open_files, **kwargs)
TypeError: run_tests() got an unexpected keyword argument 'repeat'

@aphearin - it's actually a mix of different errors. Looking at https://travis-ci.org/astropy/halotools/builds/49669020 (the most recent one), it looks like the error you're noting is showing up for the last 3 tests, but not the others. I've created a new issue for that problem (#21).

If you look at, say 14.10 on that page, though, you'll see a different set of errors, all something to do with missing global variables. I think that's a real failure that @duncandc needs to correct, right?

[aphearin]

Well, yes and no. The errors are definitely coming from the sector @duncandc works on, but it's still strange that when I run the test suite locally, there are no failures. I'm still not very practiced at deciphering Travis' traceback, but the errors seem to be stemming Duncan's attempts at parallel code. I don't know why this would be a problem on Travis and not on my machine.

[duncandc]

Ok, I see at least one or two problems I can fix.

[eteq]

@aphearin - Travis is usually run on a vanilla version of ubuntu (12.something, I think?) in a virtualized environment, so there's all kinds of configuration things that might be different with regards to mpi. I'm confused why that would lead to this particular set of errors though... we'll see what @duncandc can come up with.

(Also, @duncandc , did you mean to close this?)
