Our last Conda blocker: HDF5
by Matthew Turk Sept. 20, 2013

Sept. 20, 2013

John ZuHone mentioned in IRC today that this is the last major blocker to using Conda: https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/18 If anyone has any ideas, they'd be greatly appreciated. Kacper has the yt buildbots set up so we should be able to upload directly to binstar some nightly builds, too.

YTEP-0018: Changing dict-like access to StaticOutputs
by Matthew Turk Sept. 19, 2013

Sept. 19, 2013

Hi all, I've issued a pull request for a YTEP that describes a graduated change to how StaticOutput objects work. This shouldn't be taken lightly, as I think it will be relatively disruptive. https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/ytep/pull-request/24/ytep-0018-reducing-d… Comments appreciated. -Matt

by Nathan Goldbaum Sept. 18, 2013

Sept. 18, 2013

New issue 662: Use pip to manage pure python dependencies in the install script https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/662/use-pip-to-manage-pure-pytho… Nathan Goldbaum: I believe that was the cause of Mark Krumholz's issue in this thread: http://lists.spacepope.org/pipermail/yt-users-spacepope.org/2013-September/… This is a somewhat dramatic change compared to what we currently do in the install script, but I think it's necessary. Another option would be to make `yt update --all` a … [View More]

Issue #661: Add 'gotchas' subsections to the docs (yt_analysis/yt)
by Nathan Goldbaum Sept. 18, 2013

Sept. 18, 2013

New issue 661: Add 'gotchas' subsections to the docs https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/661/add-gotchas-subsections-to-t… Nathan Goldbaum: Where appropriate, we should add subsections to existing doc pages with listings of common 'gotchas'. See for example the sympy docs: http://docs.sympy.org/dev/gotchas.html One example: when someone tries to plot a field that by default has logarithmic colorbar scaling, but with less than an order of magnitude in dynamic range, there will either … [View More]

Issue #660: Support for interactive MPL backends (yt_analysis/yt)
by Sam Skillman Sept. 18, 2013

Sept. 18, 2013

New issue 660: Support for interactive MPL backends https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/660/support-for-interactive-mpl-… Sam Skillman: We should have better support for operations such as SlicePlot.show() to display in an interactive backend, much like what the PlotCollectionInteractive had. This will need to be done by detecting the backend, determining if it has interactive capability, and reporting useful error messages if not. If "sl" is a SlicePlot instance, the following would … [View More]

Issue #659: Enzo frontend does not respect NumberOfGhostZones (yt_analysis/yt)
by J.S. Oishi Sept. 14, 2013

Sept. 14, 2013

New issue 659: Enzo frontend does not respect NumberOfGhostZones https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/659/enzo-frontend-does-not-respe… J.S. Oishi: If you have WriteGhostZones = 1 and NumberOfGhostZones != 3, then when you retrieve data, you will get the wrong size grid. This is because 3:-3 is hardcoded here: https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/src/81c2f6f5f983e90ec58e4d1d9da48a7a4a… Responsible: jsoishi

Finalizing the license switch
by Matthew Turk Sept. 12, 2013

Sept. 12, 2013

Hi everyone, I'm writing about the licensing situation. A while back we had a discussion about transitioning to BSD 3-clause. Here is the progress on that: * I have received (offline or online) consent from everyone listed on the spreadsheet. * The ARTIO headers in yt-3.0 will be licensed under the LGPL, which we will note in a file at the top level. * Kacper has moved in the main yt repository all of the external dependencies to an extern/ directory. This also isolates some of the LGPL … [View More]
