[yt-users] Support for boxlib-style orion files

[Mark Krumholz]

Hi yt list,

I just upgraded to the latest and greatest yt release, and I discovered that I can no longer read BoxLib-style (i.e. older style) ORION output files. When I try, I get

In [1]: pf=load('plt05230')
yt : [ERROR    ] 2012-10-02 11:14:41,142 Couldn't figure out output type for plt05230
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

/Users/krumholz/Library/yt/yt-x86_64/src/yt-hg/yt/convenience.pyc in load(*args, **kwargs)
     81                 return output_type_registry[n](fn)
     82         mylog.error("Couldn't figure out output type for %s", args[0])
---> 83         raise YTOutputNotIdentified(args, kwargs)
     84     mylog.error("Multiple output type candidates for %s:", args[0])
     85     for c in candidates:

YTOutputNotIdentified: Supplied ('plt05230',) {}, but could not load!

This file was previously readable with an older version of yt, so something about the recent upgrade seems to have broken compatibility with these older files. Any suggestions?
