[Ifeffit] Problems importing larch plugins to python

[Johan Nilsson]

Hello Bruce,

I added the _larch argument to my feff path and parameters and the script seems to be working now, thank you for spotting that. I'll have a look at the links you provided and I'll try to do some more exafs fitting with larch and hopefully I will get a better understanding of how it all works.

Best regards,
Johan

Johan,

I explain why this is necessary at

https://bruceravel.gitbooks.io/larch-plugin-tutorial/content/mback/details.html

Well, that is to say, I explain my best understanding of why it's
necessary.  Some of the inner workings of larch are still a bit opaque
to me :)

In any case, when you are at the larch command line (or using larch to
interpret a larch script), it is unambiguous which instance of the
larch interpreter each function is supposed to use.  When using larch
as a module in a python script, it is conceivable that more than one
larch interpreter exists.  So you have to be explicit.
