Caveats¶
This is a list of known problems currently in Pycotools
Non-Ascii Characters¶
- Are not supported
- Do not use unusual characters or naming systems (i.e. A reaction name called “A -> B” is fine for COPASI but not for Python building in character encoding)
Parameter Estimation¶
Currently we cannot setup: * Affected experiments section
But these can be done after configuration with ParameterEstimation by opening the GUI, manually configuring the rest of the task and then saving and returning to python.
Units¶
Not all quantity units are supported. Supported units are:
- fmol, pmol, nmol, mmol, mol, dimensionless and # (latter for particle numbers)
Assignments¶
Assignments are not currently supported but will be in a future release. Again, here simply use the COPASI user interface instead.
Duplicate Names¶
In COPASI we can have (say) a global quantity and a metaboltie with the same name because they are different entities. This is not supported in Pycotools and you must use unique names for every model component
