I have a PR open for this 🙂

• {geo}[foss/2023a] xESMF v0.8.6 easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs#20985

@pavelToman I'm gonna leave it open until it is installed and informed the user.

[laraPPr]

@pavelToman I've created an new list of items for software that still needs to be installed and where the user is not informed yet. So than you can close the issues.

@lexming I'm trying to get ESMPy installed on Hertense but it is failing

export 

PYTHONPATH=/tmp/eb-exlczbtv/tmp10woyzzy/lib/python3.11/site-packages:$PYTHONPAT

H && sed -i 's/^\(DATA_URL.*earthsystemmodeling.org\)/# \1/;s/# 

\(DATA_URL.*github.com\)/\1/' src/esmpy/util/cache_data.py && unset 

ESMPY_DATA_DIR && export ESMPY_DATA_NEW_DIR=/tmp &&  pytest

  >> command completed: exit 1, ran in 00h00m08s

@laraPPr hmmm... I can reproduce this error in Hortense, but the same easyconfig works in Hydra 🙂 I'll try to figure out why

[lexming]

@laraPPr Got it. The tests of ESMPy need a sane MPI environment and the problem is that Hortense does not have one by default. So you have to do extra work and load vsc-mympirun and then run the tests with something like mpirun --mpirunoptions="-np 1" pytest.

@boegel Could I do this via a hook? Or do you know another way how to best do this?
