I've been resorting to 0.8.7 for the past couple of months after 0.8.8 and 0.8.9 were released because I run into strange errors, probably because of the not-simlpe-fix issue Stephen noted. The portion of the code where I encountered problems were doing parallel HOP halo finding.<div>

<br>
Some problems Sam was having with the fortan kdtree has alerted me to<br>
some necessary changes due to changes in Forthon. Two of them are<br>
simple. One is to remove a --with-numpy flag in the Makefile. The<br>
second is that the most recent version of Forthon (0.8.9) builds the<br>
fKDpy.so object in it's own build/lib.arch.../ directory, not in the<br>
same directory as the Makefile. This is easily fixed by a change to<br>
the setup.py file in yt/utilities. I will issue a PR for this<br>
depending on the discussion of the following issue.<br>
<br>
The not-simple change is that the newest Forthon setup.py is<br>
hard-coded to install the Forthon package for the system Python,<br>
regardless of which actual Python stack you're using, which is not<br>
convenient for our custom-curated yt stack. The fix is to simply<br>
remove the hard-coding. But I want to ask y'all what the best course<br>
forward from here is: A) ask the author to change it, B) make the<br>
change in the Forthon linked to in the install_script, or C) stick to<br>
the old version for now?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
