How to use pywinter for intermediate files?

[edougherty]

Hi all,

As my title says, I am trying to use pywinter to generate intermediate files to be read in by WRF/MPAS-A. I can import the module in python via

import pywinter

But trying to import the subroutine

import pywinter.winter

Results in the following error:

ImportError: /glade/u/home/doughert/miniconda3/envs/pangeo3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/KreatE_inter_m_f.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: _intel_fast_memset

Since others seem to have success using this tool, could someone please let me know how you got it working? For reference, I am using a virtual environment on Casper with Python v.3.9.

Thanks!

Per the Zulip ESDS forum from Katelyn FitzGerald:

You may need to unload your compiler modules so that the package builds using the compilers in your conda env (there's some Fortran in pywinter that's making things a bit complicated). There might be a smoother way to do this, but it works at least.

When reinstalling you'll probably also need to tell pip not to use the cache:

pip install pywinter --no-cache-dir
