How do I change the default log file?#

Call util.start_logging(filename).

from pysme import util
util.start_logging("your_log_file.log")

Get output of A module that was compiled using NumPy 1.x cannot be run in NumPy 2.2.0 as it may crash.#

This is an ABI mismatch between your NumPy and the installed _smelib binary.

  • For <= v0.6.26, PySME may attempt a runtime rebuild/download path.

  • For >= v0.6.27, the recommended fix is to reinstall PySME in the target environment so binaries are rebuilt/reinstalled consistently.

If you see output like:

running build_ext
building '_smelib' extension

the extension is being rebuilt.

I get an error “Derivatives in the starting point are not finite”#

Make sure your initial stellar parameters are within the atmosphere grid defined by the atmosphere file set in sme.atmo.source

I get an error “lnGAS: DGESVX failed to solved for corrections the partial pressures.”#

The most possible reason would be the abvundance of the element in error is too low or nan, thus the EOS code cannot compute its EOS.
