linecatalog fails on import

[bugs]

The next problem is trying to read in a line list, for instance the example below.

File: moleculelist.txt

mol1    109220   100.0  1.0
mol2    109770   100.0  1.0
mol3    109910   100.0  1.0
mol4    110190   100.0  1.0
mol5    112390   100.0  1.0
mol6    113220   100.0  1.0
mol7    115290   100.0  1.0

The line catalogue cant then be read; see sequence two below. I have been able to enter line frequencies by hand, eg

q1.set_restfreqs([109252.212,109782.173,109905.753,110201.353,112358.988,113191,115271.202],'MHz')

but this rather defeats the purpose of having a catalogue!

ASAP>mols = linecatalog('moleculelist.txt')

ASAP>mols.save('mols.tbl')

ASAP>mols=linecatalog('mols.tbl')

ASAP>mols.summary()

Hi Michael,

this failure happens because 109220 is an integer not a float value. You can rectify this by appending a ".0" to those values.

We will change this behaviour sometime soon, in the meantime pleas use the above workaround.

Fixed. This will be available in the next release (2.3.1).
