Python module: Ubuntu 23.x build

[wperkins]

There are difficulties building the GridPACK Python module on Ubuntu 23.x. Ubuntu 23.x uses Python 3.11. The pybind11 submodule used by GridPACK is rather old (2.4.3) and probably needs to be updated. Build on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS should be checked as well.

[wperkins]

With Ubuntu 20 LTS (Python 3.08). I tried using a newer version of the pybind11 submodule

cd python/pybind11
git checkout v2.11.1

The GridPACK module built fine after that, but I got this from python setup.py test:

hadrec_test (tests.gridpack_test.GridPACKTester) ... a[0] = 0.0
ERROR
hello_comm_test (tests.gridpack_test.GridPACKTester) ... ok
hello_test (tests.gridpack_test.GridPACKTester) ... ok
task_test (tests.gridpack_test.GridPACKTester) ... ok

======================================================================
ERROR: hadrec_test (tests.gridpack_test.GridPACKTester)

Traceback (most recent call last):

    hadapp.initializeDynSimu(busfaultlist)
RuntimeError: Cblock is not a transfer function
Check the value of the parameters

No idea what's causing this.

This error does not seem related to the pybind11 version. I started #198 for that.

This is definitely an issue with the input file. What test is this?

The Python unit test input. See this comment: #198 (comment)
