Brian Crosby:

Creating a sphere object using a YTQuantity for the radius creates an object that appears to have the value of the radius in cm, despite calling it code_length.

Example:

In [4]: my_sphere = pf.sphere(location, YTQuantity(10, 'kpc'))

In [5]: my_sphere
Out[5]: YTSphere (moving7_0010): center=[ 0.75073242  0.75024414  0.75024414] code_length, radius=3.08567758096e+22 code_length



Creating the sphere with a tuple rather than a YTQuantity behaves normally.

Example:

In [6]: my_sphere = pf.sphere(location, (10, 'kpc'))

In [7]: my_sphere
Out[7]: YTSphere (moving7_0010): center=[ 0.75073242  0.75024414  0.75024414] code_length, radius=10.0 kpc
