[GRASS-user] [GRASS-dev] execGRASS("r.diversity"): [Error 3] Cannot find path specified \\.grass7\\r.li

[Sandra MacFadyen]

If I understand Helmuts' post correctly, is the error I am getting attributed to the following sections of the python script r.diversity.py? 

#create configuration file instead using r.li.setup 
def createConfFile(res, inpumap, home):

and/or 

# return a list of resolution
def checkValues(res, alpha=False):

I am also new to python and not sure how I should proceed to successfully create or read the config. file.
I would appreciate your advice.

Thank you
Sandra

P.S. Should I rather open a new thread entitled r.diversity Illegal areas disposition?

---------------------

could it be the logics to calculate

#create configuration file instead using r.li.setup def createConfFile(res, inpumap, home):

and 

# return a list of resolution
def checkValues(res, alpha=False):

(and maybe others too) the reason why the creation of the configuration
file(s) fails?
