NEURON does not compile with Python 3.4

When Python is the interpreter, what is a good
design for the interface to the basic NEURON
concepts.

NEURON does not compile with Python 3.4

Post by lneisenman »

When trying to compile NEURON ( either the standard distribution or cloned today from the repository) with python3.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit I get the following error:
($HOME/neuron/nrn/configure --prefix=`pwd` --with-iv --with-nrnpython=python3 --srcdir=$HOME/neuron/nrn)

I updated a prototype to satisfy Python 3.4. Try
