(oops)

couple of other typo fixes

clean up open() functions to use self.auto() which does compression for us based on the file extension

update _const_dt to include a wrapper just before it's cached, allowing output to the screen for debugging

other minor fixes

more attempts to clean up the code to work better on NFS : seems ok now, but expect more "bug" fixes to come (and more cleanup as the code is a bit hacky)

few other cleanups

add automatic cacheing of various functions, and a cache_test() routine to test the runtimes with and without caching

the joiningfile is now made by whichever job gets to this task first, so the error where it wasn't fully made (when jobs were slowly run from the HPC queue) should not happen now unless it takes a long time to write that one short file. I guess we could put in a checkfile if required, but this should be *very* rare.

fix some bugs in restarting from snapshots: the start_at was calculated incorrectly (needed to take into account modulo and previous start_at)

all other files access the HPC API, not the slurm and condor objects directly

cleaned up the evolve function so the option to join is selected before it is called, and this now has its own function

set up json functions to not convert ascii (should be faster and preserve UTF8)

Slurm restarts work, just take your old (unfinished) Slurm dir and set it with slurm_restart_dir=<whatever>

doesn't work for slurm yet, but small steps

also fixed a bug in keys_to_floats()

add CPU time to metadata output, and fix an issue with a tuple rather than a string from platform.something()
