Hapflk local_reynolds Python script

Question

[jamessweetjones]

Hi all,

I am trying to construct HapFLK local population trees using the local_reynolds.py script available on the HapFLK website. However, this script does not want to continue analysis because I keep receiving this error

  File "local_reynolds.py", line 132, in main

     my_pops=get_pop_names(myfic[0])

IndexError: list index out of range

Has anyone else received this error and how have you got around it?

Best, James

We'll need to see more of the code, and how you're calling it to say whats wrong.

The error is fairly self explanatory, the zero-th element of the list myfic doesn't exist (the list is empty). So the question is, why is it empty - which we can't say from that snippet alone.
