Update due to "george" library update

[stefanocovino]

Dear Ruth,

I'm playing with the library but I see an error as soon as I try to execute "gprot-fit":

gprot-fit -h
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/covino/Pacchetti/anaconda3/bin/gprot-fit", line 4, in
import('pkg_resources').run_script('gprot==0.1', 'gprot-fit')

ImportError: cannot import name 'WhiteKernel' from 'george.kernels' (/Users/covino/Pacchetti/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/george/kernels.py)

I think it is just a change in the "george" library, the WhiteKernel.

Thanks,
Stefano

Hi Stefano,

Thanks for raising this issue. Unfortunately, I am no longer maintaining this package. If you're interested in using GPs to measure rotation periods, I recommend celerite or exoplanet.
