Larch Mac OS X 10.15 Catalina
by Jeff Terry 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Hi Matt, I had to upgrade my Mac to OS X 10.15 and it blew up my Anaconda distribution which has forced me to reinstall everything from scratch. Now whether I install larch from source or by using conda, I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/jterry/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 97, in CFUNCTYPE return _c_functype_cache[(restype, argtypes, flags)] KeyError: (None, (<class 'epics.dbr.access_rights_handler_args'>,), 1) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/jterry/anaconda3/bin/larch", line 11, in <module> load_entry_point('xraylarch==0.9.46', 'console_scripts', 'larch')() File "/Users/jterry/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 489, in load_entry_point return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name) File "/Users/jterry/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2852, in load_entry_point return ep.load() File "/Users/jterry/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2443, in load return self.resolve() File "/Users/jterry/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2449, in resolve module = __import__(self.module_name, fromlist=['__name__'], level=0) File "/Users/jterry/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/larch/__init__.py", line 50, in <module> from . import builtins File "/Users/jterry/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/larch/builtins.py", line 33, in <module> from . import epics File "/Users/jterry/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/larch/epics/__init__.py", line 9, in <module> import epics File "/Users/jterry/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/epics/__init__.py", line 29, in <module> from . import ca File "/Users/jterry/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/epics/ca.py", line 761, in <module> dbr.access_rights_handler_args) File "/Users/jterry/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/epics/dbr.py", line 339, in make_callback return ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(None, args)(func) File "/Users/jterry/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/ctypes/__init__.py", line 99, in CFUNCTYPE class CFunctionType(_CFuncPtr): TypeError: item 1 in _argtypes_ passes a struct/union with a bitfield by value, which is unsupported. I think that line 11 is: load_entry_point('xraylarch==0.9.46', 'console_scripts', 'larch')() Any ideas on how to address this issue?

Dear Fred and Matt, thanks for raising the notice for the IUCr 2020 in Prague. We [XAFS, CXAFS] have a strong list of speakers and XAFS sessions, together with all the Crystallography sessions. We also have a tutorial workshop the day before the Congress at the venue, which is free [with registration for the Congress] and especially for early career researchers, crystallographers finding out about XAS and students. We have been awarded two keynote speakers on XAS, together with nine XAS and XAS-related Microsymposia, including Fred's one: 1) Advanced Methods for analysis of XAFS and Crystallographic data 2) Spectroscopy applied to electrochemistry: operando studies 3) Catalysis: functionalized materials studied by XRD and XAFS 4) XAS and crystallography allied for geomaterials and environmental problems 5) Disordered materials: spectroscopic and scattering techniques 6) Matter at extreme conditions at SR and XFEL: complementarity of spectroscopy and diffraction 7) X-ray spectrometry and X-ray diffraction in Art and Archaeology 8) 4th generation SR and XFEL Facilities 9) Combining x-ray diffraction and spectroscopy to characterize materials We welcome all submissions, abstracts etc. and hope this will be a great programme. Prague is also a beautiful place. Very best wishes to everyone... Particular thanks to Giuliana, Sofia, Dibyendu, Valerie and all the session chairs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christopher Chantler, Professor, FAIP, Fellow American Physical Society Editor-in-Chief, Radiation Physics and Chemistry Chair, International IUCr Commission on XAFS; CIT, CCN IPP, International Radiation Physics Society School of Physics, University of Melbourne Parkville Victoria 3010 Australia +61-3-83445437 FAX +61-3-93474783 chantler(a)unimelb.edu.au<https://owa.unimelb.edu.au/owa/redir.aspx?C=c7BoS0kVVkC1_S95-9x9l5cBu6YTjdA…> chantler(a)me.com<https://owa.unimelb.edu.au/owa/redir.aspx?C=c7BoS0kVVkC1_S95-9x9l5cBu6YTjdA…> http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/~chantler/xrayopt/xrayopt.html<https://owa.unimelb.edu.au/owa/redir.aspx?C=c7BoS0kVVkC1_S95-9x9l5cBu6YTjdA…> http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/~chantler/home.html<https://owa.unimelb.edu.au/owa/redir.aspx?C=c7BoS0kVVkC1_S95-9x9l5cBu6YTjdA…> ________________________________ From: Ifeffit <ifeffit-bounces(a)millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov> on behalf of ifeffit-request(a)millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov <ifeffit-request(a)millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov> Sent: Wednesday, 18 December 2019 4:07 AM To: ifeffit(a)millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov <ifeffit(a)millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov> Subject: Ifeffit Digest, Vol 202, Issue 8 Send Ifeffit mailing list submissions to ifeffit(a)millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/ifeffit or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to ifeffit-request(a)millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov You can reach the person managing the list at ifeffit-owner(a)millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Ifeffit digest..."

PhD opportunity available at IMDEA Nanociencia/University Autonoma Madrid
by dooshaye.moonshiram 16 Dec '19

16 Dec '19

Dear Colleagues, The time-resolved spectroscopy group and theoretical chemistry group at IMDEA Nanociencia and University Autonoma Madrid, Spain is currently looking for a Ph.D student with intention to apply for by the “la Caixa” fellowship (https://obrasociallacaixa.org/en/investigacion-y-becas/becas-de-la-caixa/do…) Deadline: 4/02/2020. The project will consist in studying solar fuel catalysts through static and ultrafast in-situ X-ray spectroscopy and electrochemistry. The main objectives of the project will be to probe the electronic and structural changes occurring near the active catalytic site through time-resolved X-ray absorption, emission and resonant inelastic scattering spectroscopy. The student will also be trained in Raman, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and X-ray photoelecron spectroscopy. Quantum chemistry approaches will be used throughout the project’s duration to determine the geometries of proposed intermediates based on correlation of theory to spectroscopic observables. The results of these studies are expected to have a profound impact on modern catalysis research by identifying the critical requirements for water splitting reactions. For further information, please contact Dooshaye Moonshiram (dooshaye.moonshiram(a)imdea.org) or Antonio Picon (antonio.picon(a)uam.es) Best Regards, -- Dooshaye Moonshiram Group Leader IMDEA Nanociencia Calle Faraday 9, 28049 Madrid, Spain https://moonshiram.wordpress.com/

Mac installation error "Failed to build demeter"
by Fowler, Joseph W. (Assoc) 05 Dec '19

05 Dec '19

Hi Rebecca, I am the macports maintainer of Demeter, and it certainly worked for me when I installed on my desktop Mac. But given your note, I decided to try installing demeter on my Mac laptop. To my surprise, I see the same error that you did. I don’t have a great idea what this signifies. How can ’string.h’ not be found?? If anyone out there can suggest how to fix this problem, I can try to get the macports version fixed. Otherwise, I’m stumped.
