Dear Nathan,
Thanks for the report about this, we should make the quickstart
notebooks work under both python 2 and python 3. I've filed an issue to
track this here:
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1073/quickstart-notebooks-do-not-work-under
Python 3 is still new to yt, so there are rough edges that you're
running across. It really helps to get reports back from python3 users,
especially new users where things are confusing in yt. So thank you!
I ma happy to help, it is my interest to get it run - I use and teach students to use python 3 since there is many cool new features in py3.
I'm not sure what's up with the font issue below. I just tried running
the simple visualization notebook under python3 and it worked on my
laptop, although that doesn't say much given that we likely installed in
very different ways. The fact that it's looking for cmsy10 is a bit
strange since yt doesn't use that font internally. Do you perhaps have
useTex = True somewhere in your matplotlibrc? Even then I'm confused why
yes, I would use that; matplotlib seems to work otherwise.
it's crashing since I know many people use that setting day-to-day with
yt and have no issues. I also just tried running that example notebook
using matplotlib's useTex=True setting and it worked.
maybe something is special, I admit that after installation on top of my custom-built python 3.4.3 on Fedora 22
cd
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt
cd yt
hg update yt
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install yt
I upgraded all packages to current version
pip3 freeze --local | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1 | xargs -n1 pip3 install -U
In either case, it's really a matplotlib issue and there's not much we
can do about it on the yt side. In particular, I don't see any code
outside matplotlib in any of your tracebacks. Did you install yt using
the install script, or by "pip install"ing or "conda install"ing? Which
matplotlib version are you running? You can check by doing "import
matplotlib; print(matplotlib.__version__)" in the python REPL.
In [1]: mpl.__version__
Out[1]: '1.4.3'
Maybe I need to check/update my mpl resource file which is not 5 yr old...?
I will try to update mpl to current development version
In [1]: mpl.__version__
Out[1]: '1.5.dev1'
unfortunately the error remains. I am a bit worried about the line
--> 697 result = self._font[texname.decode('ascii')]
I will check tomorrow where 'cmsy10' may come from.
Should I also be suing the current development version of yt to make error tracking against current version (and getting fixes) easier?
(and is this the correct list for this, or should I be using the yt-devel list?)
Best wishes,
Alexander

We are proud to announce the release of yt 3.2!
yt (http://yt-project.org) is an open source,
community-developed toolkit
for analysis and visualization of volumetric data of all types,
with a
particular emphasis on astrophysical simulations and nuclear
engineering
simulations.
Major enhancements
Particle-Only Plots - a series of new plotting functions for
visualizing
particle data. See here for more information.
Late-stage beta support for Python 3 - unit tests and answer
tests pass for
all the major frontends under python 3.4, and yt should now be
mostly if not
fully usable. Because many of the yt developers are still on
Python 2 at
this point, this should be considered a “late stage beta” as
there may be
remaining issues yet to be identified or worked out.
Now supporting Gadget Friend-of-Friends/Subfind catalogs - see
here to learn
how to load halo catalogs as regular yt datasets.
Custom colormaps can now be easily defined and added - see here
to learn
how!
Now supporting Fargo3D data
Performance improvements throughout the code base for memory and
speed

The next major release of yt will be version 3.3, which is
slated to include
an overhaul of the volume rendering system and support for
analyzing and
visualizing unstructured mesh data.
Standard Installation Methods
As with previous releases, you can install yt from source using
one of the
following methods.
1) From the install script (http://yt-project.org/#getyt ):
Note, many of the dependencies have been updated since version
3.1. If you
previously installed yt from the install script, it is advised
that you
re-install yt from scratch.
# Installation
$ wget
http://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/raw/stable/doc/install_script.sh
$ bash install_script.sh
# Update
$ yt update
2) From pip (source or binary wheel, see below for more details):
# Installation
$ pip install yt
# Update
$ pip install -U yt
3) From the Anaconda Python Distribution
(https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/):
# Installation
$ conda install yt
# Update
$ conda update yt
Note that it might take a day or two for the conda package to be
updated.
If you are on the “stable” branch, updating will bring you from
yt 3.1 to
3.2, incorporating all
changes since 3.1, whereas if you are on the “dev” or “yt”
branch, only the
changes since
your last update should be incorporated.
Installing Binary Packages via pip
New to this release is the ability to install binary packages
(“wheels”)
using pip on Windows and Mac OS X (64-bit only for both). This
has the
advantage of not needing to install yt from source using a
proper compiler
setup, which has caused occasional problems on both of these
platforms and
prevented us from installing yt easily on other Python
distributions.
We have so far been able to install and run the binary
distribution via pip
on the following platforms and Python stacks:
Note that it might take a day or two for the pip wheels to be
updated.
Windows x86_64:
Enthought Canopy Python (https://www.enthought.com/products/canopy/)
WinPython (http://winpython.sourceforge.net/)
Mac OS X x86_64:
Enthought Canopy Python (https://www.enthought.com/products/canopy/)
Homebrew Python (http://brew.sh/)
Python.org Python
Mac OS X’s system Python
MacPorts Python (https://www.macports.org/)
This is somewhat experimental, so other distributions may work
(or not),
please submit bug reports or successes to the mailing list or to the
Bitbucket issues page (http://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues).
All distributions are recommended to be Python v. 2.7, although
with yt 3.2
there is late-stage beta support for Python 3.4. The
requirements for
installing yt via this method are the same as from source:
NumPy
h5py
HDF5
SymPy
Matplotlib
IPython (not required, but strongly recommended)
To install a new version of yt on one of these platforms, simply do
$ pip install yt
and you should get the binary distribution automatically. Also,
if your
python installation is system-wide (e.g., the Mac system Python)
you might
need to run pip with administrator privileges.
For more information, including more installation instructions,
links to
community resources, and information on contributing to yt’s
development,
please see the yt homepage at http://yt-project.org and the
documentation
for yt-3.2 at http://yt-project.org/docs/3.2.
yt is the product of a large community of developers and users
and we are
extraordinarily grateful for and proud of their contributions.
Please
forward this announcement on to any interested parties.
As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or run into any
trouble
updating please don't hesitate to send a message to the mailing
list or stop
by our IRC channel.
All the best,
The yt development team
