open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hi everyone,

I've just installed the V8P2R0 version of telemac. I also had to install python 3.8 because I was running older versions of telemac with python 2.7. I would like to keep older versions so I didn't change the PATH for python and I have to use the commande 'py -3.8 telemac2d.py file.cas' to run the compilation.

I tried running several exemple cases, it is compilling but when arriving at 'Running your simulation" it stops with the error UnicodDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe8 in position 97: invalide continuation type.

I don't know if this is linked to the telemac version or the fact that I have several versions of python.

Hopefully python 2.7 is still working with the V8P1R0.

Thanks in advance !

Hi,

You can create a seperate shortcut to a command window and set the PATH to python 3. Are you able to run scalar exemples? Maybe it's a MPI issue.

Hope that helps,
Patrick

Thank you for your quick answer
I tried both scalar and parallel exemples with the same issue.
If I set the path to python 3 in a command window isn't it going to set it for the whole system ?
I'm currently trying to creat a virtual environnement for python 3 but with some issues with python modules.

Create a shortcut on your desktop and right click to set the properties (target and start location). These will be for that session only.

So I did it, and when I type 'python --version' I got the 3.8 only for the session but when I try to compile it looks like he doesn't compile with the 3.8 because I get the error 'from urllib.request import urlopen ImportError: No module named request' wich is a module existing in python 3.8 but not in 2.7.

I tried changing the path to python for the whole system, don't change anything, exept the fact that 'python --version' tells me the version I wrote in the path.

It is not even compiling that way, in the contrary to the commande 'py -3.8 telemac2d.py file.cas'
