A smallish (few hundred megabytes at most) public test dataset would be very helpful. Having it available on yt-project.org/data will make it much easier for any dev who doesn't have access to data like yours to implement the needed functionality.

Also don't be afraid to take a stab at implementing this functionality yourself. A surprising number of yt features were initially implemented as needed by new users.

I would like to add that this feature would be *really* nice to have. Flash checkpoint files are huge, and I'm doing large (and going to be much larger) runs. The plot and particle files are nice and small, easy to store and move around. I cringe at the thought of analyzing a 5 M(cpu-hrs) run of checkpoint files for time series data. Let me know if I can help by providing test data files or anything! My OOP and python skills are probably not at the level you'd want for actual code development, but I'll pitch in where I can.

I don't think we should expect this to work, actually. We never specified that it should, to my knowledge. So we need to implement it.

Dear users,

    Since I'm already 0 for 1 today, I thought I'd also ask about this error I've seen. I'm trying to get the time series of momentum density in the x-dir from a simulation in FLASH where I have both the plot and particle files with:

############################################################

ts = yt.load("/home/josh/amuse-svn/src/amuse/community/flash/SinkMomTest2/SMT_hdf5_plt_cnt_0??[!0]",
             particle_filename='/home/josh/amuse-svn/src/amuse/community/flash/SinkMomTest2/SMT_hdf5_part_0??[!0]')

times = []
Mom_x = []
Mom_y = []

for ds in ts:
   
   
    try:
        ds.add_field("total_px", function=_px, units="kg/s/m**2")
        ds.add_field("total_py", function=_py, units="kg/s/m**2")
    except:
        continue

    dd = ds.all_data()

    Mom_x.append(dd["total_px"])
    Mom_y.append(dd["total_py"])
    times.append(ds.current_time.in_units("Myr"))

###########################################################

But this gives the error:

IOError: /home/josh/amuse-svn/src/amuse/community/flash/SinkMomTest2/SMT_hdf5_part_0??[!0]

Unfortunately the FLASH frontend is gobbling the error h5py is raising here.

A quick way to get the real error from h5py would be to replace "raise IOError..." on line 208 with just "raise" and then rerun the script.

Ah, but now that I think about it, I don't think the glob pattern should have made it all the way down to the FLASH I/O layer.  Maybe there's a bug in the way we set up time series for FLASH datasets that include particle files?
