MAGICC7 shipping about pymagicc HOT 6 CLOSED

Check to see if your problems are solved in master.
@rgieseke It would be great to have a version bump so that the magicc tests could use the latest version. Currently the tests are pinned to a older commit.

Will do soon, there are a couple of nice new features!

As for speeding it up, maybe the MAGICC tests can re-use one Pymagicc copy more? Haven't checked yet in depth how they are set-up.
The main reason for copying is that you don't want multiple calls interfering, but in a testing setup this should be no problem (rather only in a parallel setup).

Otherwise, from a cursory web search it seems that using native copying tools with subprocess might be faster.
Another idea (not tested at all), maybe copying one zip file and unpacking could be faster than copying many, many files.

They're fine until I point MAGICC_EXECUTABLE at magicc/run/magicc, then things explode because that directory is so large.

Putting this in pymagicc maybe is the wrong spot. I opened this issue more as a discussion for MAGICC7 related things rather than as a speed things up issue

@znicholls Do the tests run faster for you now?

from pymagicc.

yes but I think it will be even faster if we ship with a tidy MAGICC7 repo
