paltas pip version not consistent with latest lenstronomy versions

[sibirrer]

the pip version of paltas causes an error when running with later versions of lenstronomy (the main branch is ok).
Can you release a new paltas version?
The line we are talking about is here:

paltas/paltas/MainDeflector/simple_deflectors.py

Line 67 in be74107

ProfileListBase._import_class(model,None,None,None).param_names

(also, here you access a private lenstronomy function, which should be avoided)

Hi Simon,

Thank you for the feedback!

I will release a new pip version and mark this issue as complete when it is done.

Is there a better way to get parameter names for an arbitrary profile in lenstronomy? I can make a feature request on lenstronomy if that would be useful.

Thank you Sebastian.
I don't think there is currently a much better way. Perhaps we can have the function as a public function outside of the class and have more of the input arguments optional. That can make it easier for you.

I just merged a pull request to the lenstronomy main branch for a decoupled function of what you (hopefully) want: lenstronomy/lenstronomy#543
