Tutorial problem - can't import external_models.my_stochastic_sir

[harryhoch]

Tutorial 5 includes an import for the external models piece:

from external_models.my_stochastic_sir import stochastic_sir

The pip install does not appear to account for this - the package failed to import.

A workaround via sys.path.append() was easy enough, but it might help to include the example code more directly.

Hi @harryhoch, thanks for reporting this. I am trying to replicate this error, can you please confirm that this happens even after downloading the full repository and not just the single tutorial file?

Yes, the pip install does not account for this but tutorial 5 assumes that the subfolder external_modes is within the tutorial folder.

Thanks. Just tried running it n the tutorials directory - that does in fact make the difference. That said, would it make sense to make those components part of the full install?
