no run_tests.py available as indicated in Readme. about pymagicc HOT 8 CLOSED

Good point. These examples assume that you have a run_tests.py script ...

Not sure what the best example is.
We could just use

make test

Would that work?

#!/bin/bash
export MAGICC_EXECUTABLE_7=tmp/magicc/run/magicc.exe
make test

This works. The virtual environment is successfully built. I then arrive at #92.
make test is kind of big and probably intimidating for some. How did the run_tests.py look like?
There are people who know python, but not make.

I think these were meant as examples similar to filenames in the main MAGICC dev repo. There is at least a generate_plots.py script there.

We could have simple example scripts for testing in the Pymagicc repo.

I'm against having a Python run_tests.py, unless all it does is call make test. Having the test in multiple places will be a nightmare re maintenance and debugging I fear...

from pymagicc.

Yes, we should find a workable example for the Readme, maybe the generate_plots.py which should run. Just to ensure that it works in principle. Or even better, a simple script which just prints the MAGICC version.

isn't this what the notebooks are for?

Could just be a simple script that enables you to check (or debug someone else's setup) whether the environment var works.

Alright. I don't like the duplication but I can see why it's worth it.
