Dear yt-users,

I'm having a very peculiar problem, and I wonder if any of you have experienced this.  I have been using my desktop machine to make tons of images of some enzo simulations - literally several thousand images at this point - and yt has mysteriously stopped working.  I haven't done anything to python, attempted to upgrade yt, or anything like that... It just started throwing errors about 800 images into a script.  It seems that I can get this error by simply typing 'python' and then 'from yt.mods import *'.  The error message is at the end of this email.  If anybody could give me some advice, I'd appreciate it - it seems like it might actually be deeper than simply a yt problem, though.

Thanks!

--Brian
