Thanks guys. The conda install works great. I couldn't get the install script to build a working version, even though I did activate before running python. Perhaps my version of anaconda was somehow incompatible with yt's python install, but in any case it seems to be working fine now. romeel On Aug 6, 2014, at 8:11 PM, Nathan Goldbaum <nathan12343@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Romeel,

If you're using anaconda, you might find the yt conda package to be useful.

Thanks to Continuum Analytics, 64 bit builds of yt 3.0 are available via the official anaconda package repository.

Just do "conda install yt" to get an up-to-date build.

Usually this happens when a module has been compiled with a different python than the one you're running. Did you use the install script? If so, did you activate before running python?

Has anyone seen an error like this? I go into python and say "import yt" and it gives http://paste.yt-project.org/show/4994/

The problem seems to be with PyUnicodeUCS2_DecodeUTF8, and it also appears when i try to pip install scipy using yt's python.

I am using anaconda, and uname -a gives Linux ursa.uwc.ac.za 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
