counts_max_hits function in Scanner class unavailable in MOODS 1.9.4.1

[rogadde]

I'm using the MOODS Python module in a conda environment with Python 3.10.5, and the following lines generate an error.

scanner = MOODS.scan.Scanner(window_size)
scanner.set_motifs(matrices, bg, upper)
results = scanner.counts_max_hits(seq, LIMIT_MULT * target)

Error:
AttributeError: 'Scanner' object has no attribute 'counts_max_hits'. Did you mean: 'scan_max_hits'?

Why does the scan_max_hits function work while counts_max_hits does not, seeing as how they are both public member functions of the Scanner class?

Sorry for the late reply.

It's not explicitly exposed to python via the Swig interface definitions, so there isn't a corresponding python function. I think I left it out intentionally since it was mostly intended for internal usage only, though I could see a rationale for having a counting function available on python side too.
