Hi Mikhail,

As you requested, I believe I have a first-pass version of the “test release” idea working with the new-style psana1 (both py2 and py3).  See below for an example py3 session.  It isn’t rock-solid:  the situation that is currently not as good as the old-style test release is that you can’t switch between different test release directories in one session ... you have to logout/login and redo the “conda_setup” below in the new test release directory.  But given that only developers will see this (mostly you and me, maybe Chuck and Valerio) I think it’s a reasonable tradeoff:  the scripts are much simpler if we don’t have to delete stuff from PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PYTHONPATH.

It’s a first-pass so there may be problems.  Let me know if you see any.

creating a test release:

source /reg/g/psdm/sw/conda1/manage/bin/psconda.sh -py3
(potentially activate the right conda env if you don’t want the default)
mkdir mytestrel
cd mytestrel
source /reg/g/psdm/sw/conda1/manage/bin/conda_setup
git clone https://github.com/lcls-psana/psana
git clone https://github.com/lcls-psana/python
cd psana
git checkout py3
cd ..
scons

reusing an existing test release:

source /reg/g/psdm/sw/conda1/manage/bin/psconda.sh -py3
cd mytestrel
(potentially activate the right conda env if you don’t want the default, you can see which one is correct in the file .sit_conda_env:  it will give you an error if you have it wrong)
source /reg/g/psdm/sw/conda1/manage/bin/conda_setup
scons
