New issue 1144: numpy and typecasting for in place operations https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1144/numpy-and-typecasting-for-i...

Giovi Pelle:

Python 3.4 Numpy 1.10.1

The example for loading generic array data fails with the following traceback:

TypeError: Cannot cast ufunc multiply output from dtype('float64') to
dtype('int64') with casting rule 'same_kind'

I guess it can be attributed to the new numpy typecasting rule for in-place operation. Probably it is a simple fix for you.
