Example pyroot004_NumbaDeclare.py throws exception

Hello all,

I’m trying to run the PyROOT Numba tutorial example but it seems to throw an exception, shown below [1]. I’ve tried both my local ROOT (6.25/01) and the SWAN version 6.24/06, and get the same error. Any clues what might be going on? Here’s the link to the example:

https://root.cern/doc/master/pyroot004__NumbaDeclare_8py.html

Thank you,
Andre

You need to use the versions of the tutorials appropriate for your ROOT versions, e.g., for ROOT 6.24: pyroot004_NumbaDeclare.py

Ah, thanks very much! I did not realize the examples vary by ROOT version, but thinking about it it makes sense of course.

Though does this mean that the examples in the master documentation don’t always work if there are breaking changes? Ideally a user should always go to the version of the documentation that they are using, but it’s easy to forget :slight_smile:

Hi,

Newer versions of the examples might use newer features and modern patterns that were not available in older ROOT versions, I don’t think we can do much there.

The other way round should be fine: using older versions of the tutorials with newer versions of ROOT should be OK as we try hard not to break existing APIs. The exception is the occasional deprecation of some interfaces, bit that’s a rare occurrence.

Cheers,
Enrico
