Hello everyone, 

I am Shavika Rastogi, a PhD student at the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems, Western Sydney University, Australia. I currently use NEST and NESTML to write and test any arbitrary neuron model. Before writing my own neuron model, I wanted to test neuron models already existing in NESTML. I am using NEST and NESTML using docker. 

I am running the Izhikevich tutorial available in the documentation (https://nestml.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/izhikevich/nestml_izhikevich_tutorial.html).  As per this tutorial, we can generate and build code using the following statement :

"module_name,neuron_model_name=NESTCodeGeneratorUtils.generate_code_for("izhikevich_solution.nestml")"

When I am using this function, I get the following error :

"AttributeError: 'NESTCodeGeneratorUtils' object has no attribute 'generate_code_for'"

Does anyone know whether the generate_code_for() function exists in the NESTCodeGeneratorUtils package? If not, what could be the alternative function we can use for generating and building neuron models ?

Thanks in advance.
