FeynRule code using NLOCT package for a model containing a colored scalar cannot be interfaced to madgraph.

Hi,

Did you check what is the line 354 of CT_couplings.py?

It is sounds that such line is not a valid line (does not follow python convention)
If this is the case this means that your UFO model is not valid (does not follow UFO/python convention)
and I do not see what I can do to help you. (except contacting NLOCT author obviously)

If the line is valid, then please send me the model.

Cheers,

Olivier

Line 354 of CT_couplings.py shows:

 order = {'QCD':2,' -2

Hi,

As expected this line does not follow python convention (single quote need to be close on the same line).
So the problem is inside your UFO model

Cheers,

Olivier
