Hi everyone,

I just want to mention a few things about h5py, now that we have moved to it
for yt.  h5py works with both the hdf5 1.6 and 1.8 api's.  Currently, yt
installs with hdf5 1.6.8 and uses the 1.6 api.  If you experience any
problems trying to use yt with hdf5 1.8, I would recommend moving back to
hdf5 1.6.  hdf5 1.8 does have added functionality over 1.6, but currently yt
does not use any of it.
