Proposing to "simplify" setting up parameters and observations with
pst_fromandlongnames=False. Parameter and observations names with will default top{x}ando{x}, respectively, wherexis effectively a counter. Two additional files will be written tomapthese names to theirlongnamecounterparts allowing the parameter and observation metadata to still be stored and used in processing (while maintaining better support for classic PEST and PEST UTILS).Using the
pyemu.Pst()function to load in the pest control file will attempt to populate the metadata columns ofparameter_dataandobservation_datawith the metadata stored in these helper files.These changes do actually simplify the general par and obs naming methods, however, obviously they may break peoples current
longnames=Falsesetups. Happy to leave on a branch for now if folks want to test more thoroughly.
