Access to time in compiled expressions in Python

Registered by Garth Wells

It's common that an expression will have a (pseudo) time dependency. This is easy from C++, but from Python requires expensive callbacks to eval. We should add a C++ interface with time to make this easy. This could be done by adding time to the Data object.

Isn't this already supported? For example, the following should work:

f = Expression("sin(t)")

while t < T

  f.t = t

  ...

JH:
I agree with Logg. Do you have a situation that requires a more elaborated handling via the data object?
