ImportError : No module named function_library

Asked by Roberto Franceschini

Hello,
  I just made UFO model with FeynRules Version: 2.3.36 ( 28 November 2019) and I am trying to load it in MG but there is an error for
`ImportError : No module named function_library`
I have checked I have this error in 2.6.0 and 2.7.0 as well.

The error goes away if I remove in write_param_card.py some import commands

#from __future__ import absolute_import
#from __future__ import print_function

but then the model does not generate processes with errors such as a
"generate e+ e- > e+ e-" with error:
KeyError : '1'

FYI I have noticed I get a "3 june 2010" version of write_param_card.py instead of "02 Aug 2012" i find in models shipped with MG (this is how I figured to remove the imports)
I am attaching the DEBUG file from the failed import usage of the plain model as generated from FeynRules.
Thanks for helping,
Roberto

Hi,

The latest version of Feynrules should not have those lines anymore if I'm correct.
(I will try to cross-check that as soon as I have internet back).

This is a standard issue of having coupling not associated to any coupling order.
You can check the FAQ of madgraph, we have one on that topic (even if the answer is just a referende to the FR paper)

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier, thanks for this input.
   I had all parameters defined with an InteractionOrder rule, e.g. InteractionOrder -> { NPA,1}, but the lagrangian had an interaction with no couplings whatsoever (I made it just to verify the FeynmanRule at first, then forgot it).

I got again FR from the website, this new "fresh from download" produced yet another write_param_card.py. This is without the

#from __future__ import absolute_import
#from __future__ import print_function

lines and also writes
__date__ = "6 March 2020"
I am puzzled, but this at least fixed the import.
Thanks again, this issue seems to be gone.

Best,
Roberto

Thanks Olivier Mattelaer, that solved my question.
