issue with user-defined propagator in propagator.py file

Dear Salvator,

I have did the same thing as you.
(More exactly I did the following:)
Cd models
Cp -r sm sm_test
Cd sm_test
Cp ../EWDim6/__init__.py .
Cp ../EWDim6/object_library.py .
Cp ../EWDim6/propagators.py .
Cp ../EWDim6/function_library.py .

Then I did your modification to both particles.py and propagators.py
Just adding one more line in propagators.py
Import propagators as Prop

Then I can use the sm_tests model without any problem.

So I can not really comment on this without seeing the debug file.

Cheers,

Olivier

I have attached the debug file. I noticed that this is not an issue with older versions of mad graph (v2_2_3 works fine).

Hi,

Ah ok, this is a know bug which is fixed in 2.5.5 (which was released this morning).

Cheers,

Olivier
