Runs with jLEMS, but not with NEURON. When one runs the _nrn.py script, it gives:

So, the generation of the variable for the NEURON script doesn't quite work.

I'm not sure why this is, but based on what I read in jLEMS, this is treated like a synapse (the path has :), and so the NEURON variable is generated assuming its a synapse. I haven't seen any code that differentiates between a synaptic mechanism and an input mechanism either in jLEMS or in the Neuron writer. For the neuron script, to record conductances, one simply has to use Gfluct.g_e (i.e., <mechanism obj ref>.variable).

@pgleeson @borismarin : am I missing something here, or is recording from inputs in NEURON something we need to implement? (See also #6)
