Error in k4run: ImportError: cannot import name 'EventCounter' from 'Gaudi.Configurables' (unknown location)

[dasphy]

Hi experts,
I'm using k4run for calo reconstruction, the command is:

$ k4run test/reconstruction/digi_reco.py --IOSvc.Output test/reconstruction/root/reconstruction_energy_10000_theta_90_particle_gamma_jobid_1.root --IOSvc.Input test/simulation/simulation_energy_10000_theta_90_particle_gamma.root

However there's an import error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Do you have any idea about fixing that?

Cheers, Tong

EventCounter no longer exists from Gaudi. A new one was only now merged to k4FWCore.
Delete the EventCounter from the steering file you are using.

cf. #219 #252

Or starting tomorrow it will be possible to import it from Configurables instead of Gaudi.Configurables.

Thank you! I think this issue can be closed.
