[yt-users] Comoving units

[Cameron Hummels]

Hi Matt:

    Here are my outputs in 1.5 and trunk iyt:


-----------------------------------------------------------

In [1]: pf = load("L20S2D9H26S_0050")

In [2]: pf["kpccm"]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KeyError                                  Traceback (most recent call last)

/u/ac/chummels/source/yt-x86_64/src/yt-1.5/scripts/iyt in <module>()
----> 1
      2
      3
      4
      5

/u/ac/chummels/source/yt-x86_64/src/yt-1.5/yt/lagos/OutputTypes.pyc in 
__getitem__(self, key)
    104                   self.conversion_factors]:
    105             if key in d: return d[key]
--> 106         raise KeyError(key)
    107
    108     def keys(self):

KeyError: 'kpccm'

In [3]: pf["ComovingCoordinates"]
Out[3]: 1

----------------------------------------------------------------------


My enzo parameter file also has the comoving coordinates flag set as 
yours does.  Weird...

ComovingCoordinates                   = 1
