Issue with Custom Symbols

[KY9941]

Using the example in the documentation:

handcalcs.set_option("custom_symbols", {"star": "^*", "C": ","})

Mstar_1C2 renders as

Only without the star does the comma render as desired:

M_1C2 = 5

It seems handcalcs prioritises the custom symbols in the order you enter them in set_options:

Is already solved. Shouldn't be a problem with the new release anymore:

It is still not working for me for some reason, I am using the latest version 1.10 with Python 3.13.1, are you using the same? I don't know if it could be an issue with the version of Python, like the if statements had?

[av-engineering]

You are right. I am normally working with my own branch and I don't have this problem. But I couldn't figure out which change in my branch is preventing this.

@Dan-Ashby Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

[Dan-Ashby]

@KY9941 apologies for the slow response; busy at work.

I'm trying to look into this for you but I'm finding that oddly when I install a fresh copy of handcalcs v1.10.0 it doesn't appear to incorporate the changes I'd made, despite these having been incorporated into the codebase on Github. If this is the case it might explain the weird behavior.

I haven't touched this in ages and this is probably just me making a mistake though; would you mind checking at your end too?

Take a look in the handcalcs.py file:

Search in that file for the swap_custom_symbols function. Here's what my version looks like from my fresh handcalcs install of version 1.10.0:

This doesn't contain the modifications I made to this function, which you can see have been incorporated into the handcalcs.py file on Github:

Are you seeing the same? ChatGPT tells me it's possible that changes may have been incorporated into the Github repo, but these have not been published to PyPI yet, meaning that when we pip install handcalcs it's not pulling the latest code from Github

Hi @Dan-Ashby,

Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

I can confirm I see the same code as shown in the first image you sent instead of the modified code in your second image.

@connorferster can you please check the latest revisions have been published in full to PyPI?

Thanks for checking into it. Will investigate and publish a new release today.
