module 'magpylib' has no attribute 'show_context' about magpylib HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @SoundDesignerToBe,

thank you for taking the time to describe your problem ;)

The readthedocs link you provided points to the latest Magpylib main branch version and yet to be released.

The newly added show_context context manager for coupled subplots is going to be included in the next release (v4.4) very soon. The documentation is still work in progress.

However, if you still want to test this feature you will need to install Magpylib from source:

pip install git+https://github.com/magpylib/magpylib@main

Hope this helps, Alex -

@OrtnerMichael Maybe we should not let the docs/latest point to the main branch, but instead to the latest release (like before), to avoid this kind of misunderstandings?

Agreed.

Was not even aware that show_context is already documented :).

Hi Alex,

thank you for the quick reply and the help. It is indeed a bit confusing as it displays 4.3.0 in left upper corner when it points somewhere else.

I intended to install within my pipenv environment to make this work.
I tried different install command variations, but I kept getting the error when executing the script from my initial question.

Within the active environment:

• pip install git+https://github.com/magpylib/magpylib@main reports no errors
• pipenv run pip install git+https://github.com/magpylib/magpylib@main reports no errors
• pipenv install git+https://github.com/magpylib/magpylib@main fails asking for a #egg specification

I hoped to have found a solution, but running

• pipenv install git+https://github.com/magpylib/magpylib#egg=magpylib
  ... executed successfully, but the issue remained.

• pipenv install git+https://github.com/magpylib/magpylib#egg=magpylib@main
  raises an InstallationError, Invalid requirement: 'magpylib@main'.

I fixed this the quick and dirty way now, by setting up a new environment with virtualenv instead and used the 'pip install ...' command. This works for me.

@Alexboiboi magpylib docu now has main as standard branch (not latest anymore). This should stop confusions that led to this issue. Thanks @SoundDesignerToBe for pointing it out.

Can we close this issue then ?

Thank you!
