New issue 626: Deprecate neighbour finding methods in halo_objects.HaloList
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/626/deprecate-neighbour-finding-methods-in

Kacper Kowalik:

There are two methods in the basic `HaloList` class: `nearest_neighbors_3D` and `nearest_neighbors_2D` that invoke unknown function `buildKdHyperRectTree`. It looks  like they rely on external dependency that's no longer shipped with *yt* or they are rotten code. Could we raise some exception at the beginning of those methods marking them for removal or should they be revived?
