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?)

Either list is fine, please also feel free to open an issue, especially if you can make this error reproducible on another setup.
 

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

        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
