Operational Amplifier example doesn't work

[GabrielFerreira22]

Environment (OS, Python version, PySpice version, simulator)

Google Golab Python 3.10 PySpice 1.5

I'm trying to run the operational amplifier example but it returns an error.

Code:

!pip install condacolab
import condacolab
condacolab.install()

!conda create -n pyspice 
!conda activate pyspice               
!conda install -c conda-forge pyspice 
!conda install -c conda-forge ngspice ngspice-lib 
import numpy as np

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


import PySpice.Logging.Logging as Logging
logger = Logging.setup_logging()

try the devel version. this has been fixed in the devel version. You can look at my development branch that has fixed many issues of PySpice.
