Dear Quantum Espresso Users,
I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to seek assistance 
regarding a Boltztrap calculation I am attempting to perform on the 
ComputeCanada cluster. I have successfully completed relax and nscf 
calculations in Quantum Espresso (QE), and following the tutorial provided at 
https://blog.levilentz.com/boltztrap-tutorial-for-quantum-espresso/, I was able 
to generate the files prefix.structure and prefix.energy. However, I 
encountered difficulties obtaining the results for prefix.def and 
prefix.intract.
I should mention that while I could obtain all these 4 files for the silicon 
(Si) material, I am facing challenges with my compound, which lacks symmetry. 
Despite employing the following command in Python to handle the 'No symmetry 
found' error: elif 'No symmetry found' in line:
    nsym = 1
    try:
        print(nsym)
    except:
        nsym = 1

I am unable to generate prefix.def and prefix.intract files.
Does anyone have suggestions on what steps I should take next to address this 
issue? Alternatively, does anyone possess a version of the Python file that 
effectively handles this part of the process? The link provided in the tutorial 
for qe2boltz.py seems to be inaccessible.
Thank you,
Best regards,
