[yt-users] Call for testing: VTK on Snow Leopard

[Rick Wagner]

Hi Matt,

Everything installs OK, provided the system version of Python 2.6 is used (FYI: I haven't been using this, because it was build for both PPC and i386, and I recall having trouble building other packages). But, anyways, I tried a couple of quick tests using the warped cone test [1] and simple cone example [2], and quickly tripped over some missing classes.

My initial hunting in the interpreter is below, and I've attached a list of all of the classes.
