Hello,
I have installed the PSIXAS plugin (GitHub - Masterluke87/psixas: A PSI4 plugin for X-ray absorption spectra (XPS, NEXAFS, PP-NEXAFS))
A step in the plugin consists of assigning the eigenvalues and occupation numbers to the UHF wavefunction, and this is the syntax used, where ‘uhf’ is a psi4.core.UHF:
uhf.epsilon_a().np[:] = epsa
uhf.epsilon_b().np[:] = epsb
uhf.occupation_a().np[:] = occa
uhf.occupation_b().np[:] = occb
epsa, epsb, occa, and occb are arrays. The uhf.epsilon_x().np[:] returns an array of the correct size, but UHF.occupation_x().np contains an empty array, so this syntax returns a “could not broadcast input array” error from shape (X,) to shape (0,).
My guess is that this syntax worked for previous versions of psi4, but that some more recent change to the code resulted in an empty array being created for the occupations. What is the correct way of passing an array to set the UHF occupation numbers?
(Note: For the plugin’s intended purpose, I can simply remove those occupation number assignments and nothing seems to break, but I would like to find a cleaner solution)
I am using v1.5a1.dev151.
Thank you,
Max
