Tutorials not working on visual studio code

[dmilson14]

Hello,

I am using PyBAMM for a final year project on fast charging battery and I am currently running through the tutorials to get to grips with the basics of PyBAMM. When I attempt to run the tutorial looking at lithium plating, I am getting the error :

OptionError: Option 'lithium plating' not recognised. Best matches are ['operating mode', 'side reactions', 'thermal']

This appears when I attempt to run the lines of code detailed below:

choose models

plating_options = ["reversible", "irreversible", "partially reversible"]
models = {
option: pybamm.lithium_ion.DFN(options={"lithium plating": option}, name=option)
for option in plating_options
}

pick parameters

parameter_values = pybamm.ParameterValues("OKane2022")
parameter_values.update({"Ambient temperature [K]": 268.15})
parameter_values.update({"Upper voltage cut-off [V]": 4.21})

parameter_values.update({"Lithium plating kinetic rate constant [m.s-1]": 1E-9})

parameter_values.update({"Lithium plating transfer coefficient": 0.5})
parameter_values.update({"Dead lithium decay constant [s-1]": 1e-4})

I am relatively new to python itself so I don't know whether it is an error with my setup or if something else is going wrong. Any help would be great!

Hi @dmilson14, may I ask what version of PyBaMM you are using (i.e., the output of pip show pybamm)?

Additionally, if you're using the version from GitHub and have built it from source, could you post the output of pybamm.get_git_commit_info()?

[dmilson14]

Sure thing! I used pip install pybamm to add it so hopefully it should be latest version but the output of pip show pybamm is:

Name: pybamm
Version: 0.2.4.post3
Summary: Python Battery Mathematical Modelling.

I have the github remote repository in VSC but I don't believe I have it built from source as I get an error when typing in pybamm.get_git_commit_info().

I hope that helps? Apologies if this is all very basic stuff!

I think the error you are facing is because this is a very old version of PyBaMM. Could you update to the latest version, i.e., 23.9? You can do it with these commands:

pip install --upgrade pybamm

or install the version explicitly:

pip install "pybamm==23.9"

[dmilson14]

I believe now this could be the version of python I am using, when entering pip install "pybamm==23.9" an error pops up. I think the important part of it is this:

23.9 Requires-Python >=3.8,<3.12

I am running python 3.12 so is it a case of installing / regressing to an older version of python?

[agriyakhetarpal]

Yes, that's correct. We will be supporting Python 3.12 from the next release onwards (24.1rcX and 24.1) – for PyBaMM 23.9, the supported Python versions are Python 3.8–3.11.

Perfect, thank you very much!
