Pull request for #26: Allow CL arguments to be passed

[lboxell]

See https://github.com/gslab-econ/template/tree/gslab_python-issue26_clarg for where I was testing this code.

Very cool @lboxell! Nice work. I have a few comments, but none of them relate (strongly) to the code you've written so far.

• The unit tests in you're asking us to pull are failing. I tried them locally and had the same different Errors. Can you fix that?
• The template branch you're working on is a great idea. I think
  • We should add a step to show off the build_python command line argument functionality
  • Make the changes permanent in master so everyone can see how we do this. That would, of course, also require showing off the default argument passing as well.
• Can you confirm that we'll never want to pass command line arguments to lyx or table builders?

@arosenbe, Per discussion:

• Waiting on my congress_text run to finish before uninstalling my gslab_scons python module to re-run and fix the unit tests.
• I think we should have at least one example in the template (since it isn't very intuitive), but showing it for all functions might be overkill.
• I don't think we will.

@arosenbe,

I've updated the unit tests. One of the release_tools tests still fails for me and I'm not sure what the issue is. Given there are other tasks open regarding the release module and refactoring the unit tests, I'm inclined to leave as-is (or have someone who knows what is going on with those tests take a look at it).

My thoughts are that I'll update the template once I've updated the new gslab_scons module in master.

@arosenbe,

Just checking in on this.

[arosenbe]

@lboxell, sorry for the delay.

I reran the tests after reinstalling a clean version of gslab_scons and didn't get any errors. Any thoughts on why you would have some that I wouldn't.

Your plan with the template sounds fine.

[lboxell]

I updated my mock installation and re-ran the tests successfully.

I'm going to merge this branch now.

[arosenbe]

@lboxell, it looks like you didn't make a release with the change. Could you?

[lboxell]

Done.
