[Yt-dev] yt in MacPorts

[Britton Smith]

Hi Thomas,

I am very happy to see this happen.  Installing yt has been an issue for
many new users of the code.  Having yt covered by MacPorts is going to be
very handy as mac is a pretty popular platform for many astronomers.  This
is really fantastic.  Thanks again for doing this.

Britton
