How to access i_cap from Python

Post by bhalterm »

How do I get access to the i_cap variable from the Python interpreter?

I tried

Code: Select all

hoc.secname.i_cap
and

Code: Select all

hoc.secname(0.5).i_cap
but neither work. The equivalent statements with "cm" work fine.

My mistake. i_cap is a special name not derived from the mechanism names and needs to be added to the
list of such range variable names that are to be available from Python. See
http://www.neuron.yale.edu/hg/neuron/nr ... 0c15acdfb5
for the one line fix assuming you are building NEURON from sources. If you need an installer, from
http://www.neuron.yale.edu/ftp/neuron/versions/alpha/
let me know which you need and I'll put one there.
