I'm not surprised that yt doesn't work quite out-of-the box with Pluto data, but the Chombo HDF5 frontend definitely works, and could probably be made to handle Pluto data with minimal hassle. Probably you just need to do things like specifying the field names, where to find stuff like 'gamma', etc. If you want help with that, I'd be happy to point you to the right places in the code. It would also help if you could provide the traceback for the error you are seeing when you try to load the dataset.

Hi Marc (cc: yt-users),

Thanks for your interest in yt! I have not used yt and pluto, but I
have used yt with some other Chombo data in the past. I would strongly
suggest you join the yt-users mailing list, which you can do here:

http://lists.spacepope.org/listinfo.cgi/yt-users-spacepope.org

or dropping by our IRC chat room,

http://yt-project.org/irc.html

I believe Andrew Myers, who is active on yt-users, has the most
experience using Chombo data in yt. However, the mailing list is the
best way to get help. If you do post to yt-users, please include some
details about exactly what is going wrong when you try to load your
Pluto data. This will help get you going faster.

take care, and welcome to yt!

yours,

Jeff
