Feedback for users regarding the availability of binary interaction parameters

Open prehner opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Currently, if the user provides a file containing binary interaction parameters, there is no feedback regarding whether interaction parameters for the individual binary systems are actually available. For users that can be seen as somewhat intransparent. A possible remedies would be a warning in Rust, but in general, print statements in Rust that can not be avoided from Python whatsoever should be only used in cases of serial failure (or maybe not at all).

Maybe warnings by default and an additional parameter that disables warnings could be a solution.

We could make functions return an error when no binary parameter is used and include a bool in the function args to change this behavior to silently ignore non-used binary files (may actually not be needed since in Rust we could check the error type and decide to ignore it). For Python, we can turn the rust error into a Warning and expose a "silent ignore" option as well (with default being a raised warning).
