These tests are based on the 'plasma_equilibrium.py' example, and include
a fairly large number of phases, some of which are only present for certain
temperature ranges.
Some calls to the print function weren't being converted to print statements
correctly by 3to2, so now we use the alternative fix, which is to use the
backported print function.
Fixes Issue 216.
Since stdout may be used for writing the actual output file, direct all error
and debug messages to stderr, so that they can be shown to the user when
ctml_writer is invoked via ct2ctml_string.
When using Python 3, using -1 as the dummy value for density and site_density
causes probems, because the (ordered) comparison between a density specified
with units (as a tuple) and 0 is not allowed. Instead, use None as the
placeholder value.
Attempting to copy or pickle Cantera objects with an underlying C++ object
previously led to unexpected errors. These operations will not raise excptions
indicating the unimplemented feature.
Resolves Issue 205.
Fixes issues with mismatched compilers between the Cython extension and the
cantera library, especially on OS X. Improves build dependency resolution to
eliminate unnecessary recompilation of _cantera.cpp.
When instantiating a phase from a .cti file, do the conversion in memory,
without writing the XML representation to disk. This eliminates the unrequrested
XML files that Cantera normally generates, and also avoids errors when running
Cantera from a directory where the user does not have write permissons.
This addesses a parsing error that would occur if a mechanism contained both
'foo' and 'foo+', where reactions written as 'foo+bar' would be parsed as a
reaction with 'foo+' and 'bar'.
See Issue 182.
Change the variable named *species* to be named *component*. This
better matches the utility of this variable, since it can be used to
retrieve any of the state variables. Also, update the corresponding
documentation.
The name 'H' can mean either the species by that name or the entahlpy
of the reactor, in the case of ConstPressureReactor, and the previous
behavior always returned the index of the enthalpy.
This changes the behavior to preferentially return the species, and
adds alternative names for reactor state variables that are less
likely to generate namespace collisions: 'mass', 'volume',
'int_energy', 'enthalpy', 'temperature', 'distance', 'velocity'. The
single character names are still supported.
Resolves Issue 193.
