PR to remove obsolete headers
by Matthew Turk 18 Jul '19

18 Jul '19

Hi folks, I've just issued a pull request to remove all of the headers that include the opening comments and the licensing information from the *individual source files* in the yt-4.0 branch. This means that information will only be in the top-level repository, rather than in every file. It is, evidently, bad practice to include the copyright -- which in any case has been out of date for several years anyway -- in each individual file, as it's included in the top-level directory. The leading comments in almost 100% of cases provided no useful information; it may be the case that they should be re-added, but as of present most are just copy/pasted. I'm posting this here to make sure that it can be considered before getting merged, although having inspected the diff I believe there are no behavior changes. The question is basically if we want this boilerplate, frequently-outdated info in every file or not. https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/2298 (PS the pull request is super long.) -Matt

Finishing up removing py2
by Matthew Turk 13 Jul '19

Hi all, I've got a PR that removes py2 compat code: https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/2163 I'm wondering if we had come to a decision on what was required for it to go in. Are we going to block on getting answer testing re-enabled? Or is passing the unit tests sufficient? -Matt

Hi folks, Nathan's Herculean unyt pull request into yt-4.0 is passing all the tests. https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/2219 Since it's been under review for a fairly long time, I am going to merge it tomorrow unless I hear otherwise. All of the changes are really straightforward, and overall a net gain. -Matt

save_object etc
by Matthew Turk 03 Jul '19

Hi folks, With the advent of the ytdata frontend, it seems that all usages of the GeometryHandler / Index object's functions save_data, _reload_data_file, load_object and get_data are all dead now. Any reason they can't be dispensed with? I suspect-without-evidence that even before ytdata, usage was close to nil. -Matt
