Hi Allin or whoever has permissions on the function package server,
I have just uploaded new versions of py4gretl packages. And since I
changed 'vecrestrict' to 'vecmrestrict', the new version of that package
didn't replace the old one. Could someone please remove the
'vecrestrict' (w/o the m).
Thanks,
Sven

New subject: Problem with a package
I am building some packages to estimate Structural Time Series Models. Now I
have a collection of functions that work well in the console but I am having
problems in packaging them. An example is the package enclosed.
I can run it in the console without any problem, for example:
(I know it is incorrect to use a series like this because of the seasonality,
but it is very illustrative)
-------
data9-3.gdt
include LLTestim.gfn
list comp = LLTestim(reskwh)
-------
(After some time...) This gives a table output and a "comp" list with two
series LLTtrend, and LLTslope. But I cannot do it to work on the GUI,
I always get an "Unespecified error". Any idea on how to solve this?

I'll take a look and get back to you tomorrow.

It still happens to me with py4gretl_vecmrestrict, too, but I haven't
had the time to thoroughly investigate when exactly. But because the
temp files are removed ok by the package I also suspect a bug in gretl
as opposed to a bug in py4gretl.
Your post prompted me to try the same thing in a script, hoping that I
could get my results that way. It didn't work, but now the funny thing
is that I found some specifications where it works via the package GUI
but _not_ when calling py4gretl_vecmrestrict with the same parameters
from a script.
Sorry, nothing constructive from my side, only that you're not alone...

The problem that prevented your function from running in the GUI
is now fixed in CVS, and also in today's Windows snapshot.
Thanks for the report.

Sorry, I just downloaded gretl from CVS and it seems not to be solved in Linux
(Kubuntu). I will try later on Windows.

Sorry, I just downloaded gretl from CVS and it seems not to be

How are you invoking the function? Here's what I did:
* Start gretl and open data9-3
* Open the function files window ("on local machine")
* Double-click on LLTestim
* Select reskwh as the 'y' series
* Type in 'comp" as the name of the return list
* Click OK.
The function then runs and gives me an output window.
I have also tried these variants: typing in a name for the
optional return matrix, 'q'; and omitting (leaving blank) the name
of the return list. It still worked OK.
Ah. Stop Press: I just now tried in Spanish and it didn't work.
I guess this is another instance where the wretched decimal
separator is messing things up. I'll take another look.
Allin.

Sorry Allin, I remembered I read anywhere in Sourceforge that it was a delay
in the CVS to offer the new files.
I tried downloading gretl now, and the problem is solved.
Another different question is about the decimal commas. They dissapeared from
gretl in my computer some time ago and they didn't return. But please don't
loose your time now with this. I would do some more testing when I have time
to tell you from what moment this happened.

Ah. I suspect the new function package code is working for you
conditional on your _not_ having the decimal commas, so there's
something still to be fixed there.
Yes, we'll get back to the "commas on (K)ubuntu" issue before
long.
Allin.
