API changes that impact user scripts code

    • CompositeExecSequence.sequence_list has been renamed to CompositeExecSequence.sequences.

  • Remove gemseo.utils.multi_processing.

3.0.0

As GEMS has been renamed to GEMSEO, upgrading from version 2 to version 3 requires to change all the import statements of your code from

import gems
from gems.x.y import z

to

import gemseo
from gemseo.x.y import z

2.0.0

The API of GEMS 2 has been slightly modified with respect to GEMS 1. In particular, for all the supported Python versions, the strings shall to be encoded in unicode while they were previously encoded in ASCII.

That kind of error:

ERROR - 17:11:09 : Invalid data in : MDOScenario_input
', error : data.algo must be string
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "plot_mdo_scenario.py", line 85, in <module>
    scenario.execute({"algo": "L-BFGS-B", "max_iter": 100})
  File "/home/distracted_user/workspace/gemseo/src/gemseo/core/discipline.py", line 586, in execute
    self.check_input_data(input_data)
  File "/home/distracted_user/workspace/gemseo/src/gemseo/core/discipline.py", line 1243, in check_input_data
    raise InvalidDataException("Invalid input data for: " + self.name)
gemseo.core.grammar.InvalidDataException: Invalid input data for: MDOScenario

is most likely due to the fact that you have not migrated your code to be compliant with GEMSEO 2. To migrate your code, add the following import at the beginning of all your modules defining literal strings:

from __future__ import unicode_literals
