This all is because of that one mess up that happened in the last release

April will see a new release which should fix all this

Hi! I may have found a found a bug in einsteinpy. Either that or I have a fundamental misunderstanding about how to use it. The Riemann curvature tensor should always be skew symmetric: R_abcd = -R_abdc. However in the following example this is not the case. I am working with a 2D metric with line element ds^2 = -2 du dr - K(u, r) du^2:

import sympy
from einsteinpy.symbolic import MetricTensor, RiemannCurvatureTensor

syms= sympy.symbols("u r")
u, r = syms
K = sympy.Function("K")(u, r)
metric_array = [[-K, -1], [-1, 0]]
metric = MetricTensor(metric_array, syms)

rie = RiemannCurvatureTensor.from_metric(metric)
rie = rie.change_config("llll")
rie[0][1][1][0] == -rie[0][1][0][1] # Returns False

The last line should return true for any valid Riemann tensor if I understand correctly, but the R_urru component gives zero. Have I made a mistake or is this a bug? Am I accessing the tensor components incorrectly perhaps?

Hey, did anyone who uses jupyter notebook(conda) manage to properly install einsteinpy on M1 mac?
I seem to run into problems like "cannot import name 'Timelike' from 'einsteinpy.geodesic'. ".

shreyasbapat said above that such problems are because of the last update broke things and that the next update in april ought to fix it.

Hi everyone! I am also facing issues with four_position not being in einsteinpy.coordinates.utils. I understand that recently things broke recently; is there a version of einsteinpy which lets me visualize geodesics and currently works? :)

@limedgestpen1970:matrix.org I am pretty sure this is scam

@zabopThe latest version from GitHub should help: pip install git+https://github.com/einsteinpy/einsteinpy.git.

Ohh maybe I am doing something wrong then. I am using this guide: https://docs.einsteinpy.org/en/stable/user_guide.html

and the result of my attempt is:

maybe the guide I am following is not the one I am supposed to be using with the latest einsteinpy version? :)

Sorry, I should have explained. "stable" in this link (https://docs.einsteinpy.org/en/stable/user_guide.html) refers to the EinsteinPy version, you'd install using pip install einsteinpy. This would install einsteinpy-0.3.1 (AKA "stable"). What you want is einsteinpy-0.4.dev0 (AKA "latest"), that you can install via pip install git+https://github.com/einsteinpy/einsteinpy.git. This pulls the most recent code from our GitHub repo. The documentation for this version can be found at https://docs.einsteinpy.org/en/latest .

I also recommend uninstalling the previous version using pip uninstall einsteinpy before you install the latest version.

Hi everyone! Currently using the latest version of einsteinpy (0.4dev0), and I'm trying to do this project - https://docs.einsteinpy.org/en/latest/examples/Using%20Geodesics%20%28Back-ends%20%26%20Plotting%29.html, however my plot seems very wrong compared to what's expected! Attached is my code and the plot, if anyone could help that'll be so great!

Hello guys, I have a naive question. It is fine to write the metric as for desitter or schwarzschild. I want to write a metric where the metric components are diag(F(t,r),G(t,r),E(t,r),D(t,r)). Where F,G,D,E are arbitrary function and not sin, cos or any other predefined function. How do I write that. Please help....

m1 Mac install - I have tried quite a bit, and pip methods all fail, usually on llvmlite. When I use conda it 'works' but in Jupyter I can't import or use it. Also trying to use it in python3 in a small python file or interactive fails, it can't see the installed by conda version. All the other python modules i need install. It's installing or trying to using native arm64 code. Thanks for any tips! Was trying out EinsteinPy and it was great getting the Einstein tensor from a metric. I tried on a different computer from mine.

Yeah. I don't know what to do about it. I am sorry for that. Will have to get a M1 to try it out.

I am sure it is because either Numba does not support M1

I figured it out. Install everything with conda. (which all worked for me). Then only problem is macs use zsh shell, needed to cd into the conda bin directory and type ./conda init zsh

==> For changes to take effect, close and re-open your current shell. <==

tandersen@tomm1 bin % pwd

Then it worked. I needed to get conda to set up my zsh shell so typing jupyter-lab would run the correct one.

Hi guys, I was reading through the docs to see if I could improve some things. One thing that I noticed is that you write "space-time" instead of "spacetime". Is this a stylistic choice of yours? Usually, it's written as "spacetime" in books and papers. The rationale behind that is that space and time are intrinsically linked. This isn't reflected when using a dash to separate both.
Disclaimer: I am coming more from a physics background rather than coding background.

Hi all, first try to use einsteinpy. Can someone tell, how to declare user defined metrics? I want to use modified Schwarzschild metric, i.e. multiply g_rr with 1/r.

I get also an error message, if i use "from einsteinpy.symbolic import SchwarzschildMetric"

Hi! Sorry for bothering for the very first day, but I noticed that the pip installing is complaining that
einsteinpy requires Python '>=3.7' but the running Python is 2.7.17

while I just installed python 3.8, and also the alias "python" points to that one, so why does it search for the oldest python? How can I force it to choose the 3.8 version I installed?

Hi, I am new to einsteinpy. Does anyone know if it's able to compute an Einstein tensor for a metric that has unknown functions of the coordinates in it? For example, if you're interested in a particular metric ansatz, and want to reduce the Einstein equation to a corresponding equation for the ansatz. Thanks!

Hi, I'm a bit confused by the indices of the Riemann tensors calculated by EinsteinPy. I have a 3D metric, so the Riemann tensor is a 3x3 matrix (I'll call it the outer matrix) where each element is another 3x3 matrix (the inner matrices). I assumed the indexing would be

R^{a}_{bcd}

with a being the row of the outer matrix, b being columns, and then c&d being the respective indices for the inner matrices. This doesn't appear to be the case when I compare my Riemann tensor generated by EinsteinPy to hand calculations.
