Hi Stuart, If the wait til Python3 is the issue, surely we are close to pushing the trigger ? Are we confident that other things (like fortran libraries and ad-hos python and shell scripts) are good to go ? M. Sent from my iPad On 18 Nov 2020, at 10:13, Stuart McNicholas wrote:

Possibly. But i2 itself cannot be fully international until Python3, since sqlite in Python2 does not support unicode. Unless we drop sqlite, of course, but there will be other libraries that cause problems. On Wed, 18 Nov 2020 at 09:44, Martin Noble wrote: > Thanks Stuart, > > Of course, since

Thanks Stuart, Of course, since we ar enow in teh 21st Century, maybe we should make these problems go away, if necessaryby dropping those elements of the suite that can’t handle international, modeern scientists ? Sent from my iPad On 18 Nov 2020, at 09:20, Stuart McNicholas wrote:

Yes, Martin, we should. I think we're catching and warning about non-ASCII now. I'll check if whitespace is in the check as well, and if not add it. On Wed, 18 Nov 2020 at 09:12, Martin Noble wrote: > Should be caught in ccp4.setup-sh ? Or in ccp4i2 launch binary ? > > > Sent from my iPad > >

Dear Kevin, Glad you worked it out. Sorry I missed earlier messages. This is another common Windows problem - not just spaces either, but anything not ASCII alphanumeric is likely to cause problems. Stuart On Tue, 17 Nov 2020 at 12:54, Kevin Cowtan <

That sort of thing works for me 1. Can you try running Pointless from the command line on the same file? 2. Failing that, can you send me the input file to Pointless to see why Pointless is failing Phil > On 17 Nov 2020, at 10:23, Kevin Cowtan >

Dear Kevin, It sometimes helps (for reasons unknown) to run i2 as an administrator once on Windows. Having said that, there may well be a pointless bug or compiler error which only manifests on some CPUs/Windows version, etc. But I'd try the run as admin idea first, if it's possible. If it's

Hi! I have a student trying to run i2, and a task to import merged data from cif which works fine for the other students is failing at the pointless step. The logfiles are identical up to pointless (apart from the random free-R flag assignment), but the problem occurs in pointless. The log file
