import mann.MODULE format in __init__.py
comment out and re-write fxn for ex/out files to be parameters
when this package gets installed as a package the working directory
becomes the directory where the actual package is installed
we change the hard-coded directory calls so the function takes a
file directory as a parameter
LENS .in file for agent update
moved Rmd src files into R subdirectory
lens agent default states are 0, not None

None cases problems when trying to write out to a file.
will still need to discuss with Mark what a default state should be
added print statements for debugging

need to move into logging
run lens with no gui and working .in file
print cwd and files for debugging
file path passed in as function argument

no more hard coded file paths in funcitons
helps a lot with the pypi packing and function calls
print statments in .out file for debugging
.in file passed into default update function as param
call lens using the .in param
update agent takes arbitrary kwargs
pass kwargs into default update function
file path is passed as param no 'here' in function
comment out lines that print cwd

not needed if param is passed as param
this also helps with pypi
assign file param to variable

i could and should get rid of this as it is redundent
but that can be done later
put the write function in a try/except block
import os to find the current script directory
find absolute directory of script
