`networks.maximal_ball_wrapper` produces no output

[minzhangut]

I am able to run ps.networks.maximal_ball_wrapper(im, "test", "./pnextract.exe", voxel_size=resolution), but I did not get any output files?

Hey @minzhangut, thanks for reporting. I don't currently have Windows to reproduce the bug, and the wrapper only works on Windows. If you're just looking for a network extraction method, you're probably better off using snow2, but if you particularly need the maximal ball extraction, you'd have to wait as we're currently working on releasing OpenPNM v3, and it's taking almost all of our time.

@minzhangut In the meantime, you could look into test_max_ball under test/unit/test_network_extraction.py. The test ensures that the method produces the expected output, and they seem to pass on Github. So, maybe you could start by running test_network_extraction.py and see if you get any outputs (you need to comment those lines that delete the generated files after they get created).

We are going to remove this function from V3 since supporting it became more trouble than we expected.
