hirespipe.py not responding at extraction of ThAr calibration frames

[Bmedina221]

Hi,

I've been trying to run the hirespipe.py for older data from HIRES (~2002) so I had to do some changes for some keywords that are different in the code. The thing is that I've managed to make it work until it reaches the stage of the extraction of the ThAr frames where it freezes and does not give me any errors, it simply gets stuck in that stage for hours. I've tracked the lines where it might be problems in the hirespipe.py code and it appears to stop here:

thar_S = GLOBALutils.simple_extraction(dthar,c_all,ext_aperture,min_extract_col,max_extract_col,npools)

In this part the GLOBALutils code is summoned and I guess this could be the problem but I've had a closer look in that code and its functions and everything seem to be alright.

Any help or comment will be much appreciated.
