run_all_postannotation - takes a few tries before it executes correctly

[itang1]

problem:
sometimes you need to run run_all_postannotation several times before it executes successfully.

this seems to occur universally across macs. unknown if this happened w/ PCs (@sarpu might possibly recall?). this seems also to occur both when working through the pn-opus network drive, and when using local clones of the script and .opf.

example:
in the example below, run_all_postannotation ran successfully on the third try. in general, the number of tries it takes is random. the order and kinds of complaints are random as well.

analysis:
it looks like run_all_postannotation has sporadic difficulties with accessing library methods

1) FIRST TRY: angry

2) SECOND TRY: angry in a different way

now, change nothing, just run it again

3) THIRD TRY: no longer angry, successfully points out errors

still change nothing, just run it again

I am looking into this. I had tried to debug these before, and inconclusively, I think they are network drive issues, but will come up with a definitive answer. In the meanwhile, for testing, could you run the scripts by cloning this repo to your own machine @itang1 ? If we don't get them that way, then that is a big hint that this is due to network drive. Also, keep the issues coming, I like them :)

[itang1]

yessir i have cloned the repo & used a local copy of the .opf. the issues still seems to happen sometimes

Also, take a look at this issue databrary/datavyu#215.
