You need to add:
from math import sqrt
or:
from cmath import sqrt
or:
from numpy import sqrt
The weird thing is, when I do this, I still get the error:

Is there some other place I should put the import command? I.e.:
1. In the main script/ipython command line
2. In the called function, i.e. make_half_square_array() in
LR_run_functions_v2.py
3. At the top of LR_run_functions_v2.py, outside of the individual
functions?
The latter. Python's imports are always local to the module/file they
are in, not globally effective.
