OSError: [Errno 6] No such device or address

[Mespith]

I'm trying to go through the ImportPythonModel.ipynb notebook in the examples. I do, however, get an error which I think needs to be solved in the package itself.

I made a local copy of the package files and I changed line 150 in writeJSONFiles.py to
modeler = getpass.getuser()
Someone recommended getpass.getuser() to me since it checks the environment variables LOGNAME or USERNAME to find out who the user is, and falls back to pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())[0] to get the login name of the current real user id.

I tested it in my environment and it works like a charm. Maybe it would be an option in the pzmm package as well?

I tested the getpass.getuser() suggestion, but ran into another error on a different environment.

Since this doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all situation, I am going to add a try/except block and a new argument into the function that allows for the user to specify the modeler name. It should look something like this:

if modeler is None:
    try:
        modeler = getpass.getuser()
    except:
        modeler = 'defaultUser'

plus the additional modeler=None argument in the function call.

@Mespith the fixes from @smlindauer have been made to ImportPythonModel.ipynb example and the writeJSONFiles.py Python script. If you have any additional issues, please let us know.

Thanks,
