REQ: Cool results
by Matthew Turk Dec. 31, 2015

Dec. 31, 2015

Hi folks, Next week I'm giving a talk at AAS about yt. One thing I'd really like to do is showcase some of the cool results that folks have used yt to generate. The slides are due Wednesday, but I'm probably going to put the finishing touches on Monday or Tuesday. The time slot is quite short, but if you have some cool results you're proud of, or that you want to have shown during a talk like that, I'd be mighty obliged if you would consider emailing them to me at matthewturk(a)gmail.com, along with how you'd like them to be cited or credited. Thanks! -Matt _______________________________________________ yt-dev mailing list yt-dev(a)lists.spacepope.org http://lists.spacepope.org/listinfo.cgi/yt-dev-spacepope.org

Analysis module review process
by Matthew Turk Dec. 31, 2015

Dec. 31, 2015

Hi everyone, Before writing this up in the YTEP, I wanted to get a sense of people's feelings on lowering the barrier to entry for changes to analysis modules. Often these are maintained by a smaller number of people and don't touch much of the rest of the code, so changes can be hard to get pushed through. An alternate thing we could try out would be spinning these out into their own packages, which we could provide helpers or hooks to download and install. A big advantage to having them in the main repo is that then everything comes in the box. [+-][01] on reducing review overhead for analysis modules? _______________________________________________ yt-dev mailing list yt-dev(a)lists.spacepope.org http://lists.spacepope.org/listinfo.cgi/yt-dev-spacepope.org

Issue #1151: unity_registry.lut is not JSON serializable (yt_analysis/yt)
by Robert Thompson Dec. 29, 2015

Dec. 29, 2015

New issue 1151: unity_registry.lut is not JSON serializable https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1151/unity_registrylut-is-not-j… Robert Thompson: This issue comes up if one wants to save/load the unity registry. Right now I am using pickle.dumps() but this has an obvious issue with the string changes from py2 to py3 and they would not be compatible.

Issue #1150: difficulty importing yt (yt_analysis/yt)
by dan mckeown Dec. 26, 2015

Dec. 26, 2015

New issue 1150: difficulty importing yt https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1150/difficulty-importing-yt dan mckeown: upon attempting to import yt using canopy I encounter the following error: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'utilities' I noticed the following lines in the terminal: File "__init__.pxd", line 155, in init yt.utilities.lib.misc_utilities (build/src.macosx-10.6-intel-2.7/yt/utilities/lib/misc_utilities.c:16424) I have a much later version of osx than 10.6, is this perhaps the reason? _______________________________________________ yt-dev mailing list yt-dev(a)lists.spacepope.org http://lists.spacepope.org/listinfo.cgi/yt-dev-spacepope.org

What would be useful for coarse-grained indexing?
by Matthew Turk Dec. 10, 2015

Dec. 10, 2015

Hi all, In this PR I've tried to instigate a discussion of what would be useful for a coarse-grained index of datasets: https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/1902/rfc-yt-search-comma… For the "minimum representation" object, we use: ("dimensionality", "refine_by", "domain_dimensions", "current_time", "domain_left_edge", "domain_right_edge", "unique_identifier", "current_redshift", "output_hash", "cosmological_simulation", "omega_matter", "omega_lambda", "hubble_constant", "name") Is this sufficient, or should we add/remove things? We likely want to remove the cosmological ones from non-cosmo sims (and leave them in for cosmo sims) but otherwise, is there anything else we should include? -Matt

Dec. 9, 2015

Hello all, I’ve just submitted a PR for adding the capability to switch between different systems of units in yt (e.g., cgs, MKS, galactic, etc.): https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/ytep/pull-requests/58/adding-ytep-0028-fo… I and others have already put in most of the work for this functionality, which will be submitted as a new PR to the codebase soon. Please read the YTEP for an overview of the proposal, and leave comments and suggestions. Best, John Z

Unstructured mesh pull request needs reviewers
by Nathan Goldbaum Dec. 9, 2015

Dec. 9, 2015

Hi all, I think the big unstructured mesh pull request, which includes a lot of cool new stuff, is ready to be merged in. However, it's a big PR, we definitely need at least two more people to carefully look it over. If you have some time, it would be great if we could get some attention on the PR. https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-requests/1778/more-unstructured-m… -Nathan
