[yt-users] changing the name of saved files

[Cameron Hummels]

Hi Elizabeth,

You could always include these lines in your script:

import os
old_filename =
'GT_BTAccel_256AMR4_PeHeat_sf5_SNe_0301_Slice_z_PotentialField'
count = 0
<whatever code generates your png file>
new_filename = "%s_%04i.png" % (old_filename, count)
os.rename(old_filename, new_filename)|
| count += 1
||...

I don't think there is an automatic filename iterator (instead of
clobberer) in yt.  Maybe I'll look at adding one later.
