ERROR: find_module not found

[dmstan]

Hello, I'm getting the following error while trying to install and compile the FLOWVLM module. I tried several things, such as deprecating python version to 3.11.9; installing first the CCBlade v0.2.7, but it seems FLOWVLM needs CCBlade v0.1.0. Help please?

It seems FLOWVLM module still uses the archived AirfoilPrep module which by my understanding should be super-ceded by airfoil routines in CCBlade.jl

[dmstan]

This seems to be working by upgrading to Julia v1.11.4. Unfortunately there is still the workaround to downgrade the python to v3.11.9. This is needed only because some modules are using imp which is deprecated, the modules should be updated to use importlib instead.

Thanks for catching that @dmstan and sharing the solution! Will leave the issue open till we can migrate from imp to importlib (not any time soon though =/ )
