SU2 KeyError: 'SU2_RUN'

The error I keep getting occurs when I try to run one of the python scripts within SU2. I've been working through the user tutorials and in Tutorials 2 & 7 where scripts are an option to execute problem. The scripts I've tried to use so far are parallel_computation.py and shape_optimization.py. I get mainly a KeyError: 'SU2_RUN', but have had a few TypeError: NoneType. Note the C++ modules run perfectly fine for me when called directly on their own.

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, SU2 V3.0, Python 2.7.2. I've followed the windows installation guide all the way through and have tried a few re-installs to see if that fixes my issue, as well as different directories, and re-doing all the system environment variables required. Anything I've tried so far hasn't fixed it, so any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Please see the errors below.

python is looking for an environment variable called SU2_RUN. you'll need to add this to your system. check out step two of these instructions -

No worries, I did actually have SU2_RUN as a system variable already. I added it as a local user variable as well and I'm no longer seeing the KeyError. I'm now getting this TypeError every time I try to execute a script.

C:\SU2>python shape_optimization.py -f rot_NACA0012.cfg

doh, that's the code that adds tab-complete when working interactively. you can go into that file (SU2/SU2/__init__.py) and remove all lines after line 10. we'll fix this for the next release
