👋 @mdc007, many thanks for your submission to JOSS. Firstly, this pull request should fix your paper compilation: matt002/GaitPy#1

Second, it's not immediately clear to me that your submission is currently up to standard for JOSS yet I'm afraid. In particular the fact that this is a written for Python 2.7 suggests to me that this package is close to deprecated and not 'designed for maintainable extension'.

Also, there don't currently appear to be any automated/unit tests which will be a problem during review.

Thank you for your edits and feedback. I will work to address these problems with the submission and update you when completed.

@arfon, I have worked to address the issues you brought up. The package is compatible with Python 3.6 and offers a demo in order to test the functionality. Any feedback is appreciated. I look forward to going through the process of submission.
