[yt-users] yt.mods

[Matthew Turk]

Hi guys,

I've added a new preferred entry point for yt.  Instead of importing
all the cruftily named submodules, almost everything you can think of
is taken care of with:

from yt.mods import *

That will get you:

numpy -> na
yt.lagos -> lagos
yt.raven -> raven

plus all the static outputs, clumps, fields, the profiles, plot
collections, callbacks, 3d stuff and even the fido entry points.

For more info:

Also, if you want to write a script that accepts a parameter file as
an argument, now the preferred way of doing that is:

>>
from yt.mods import *
pf = get_pf()
[do stuff]
<<

get_pf takes the last command line argument and turns it into an
EnzoStaticOutput.  So now, your scripts can be commandline standalones
with just two lines of boilerplate code.
