Hi Alex,
Thanks for the report about this, we should make the quickstart notebooks
work under both python 2 and python 3. I've filed an issue to track this
here:
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1073/quickstart-notebooks-do-not-work-under
Python 3 is still new to yt, so there are rough edges that you're running
across. It really helps to get reports back from python3 users, especially
new users where things are confusing in yt. So thank you!
I'm not sure what's up with the font issue below. I just tried running the
simple visualization notebook under python3 and it worked on my laptop,
although that doesn't say much given that we likely installed in very
different ways. The fact that it's looking for cmsy10 is a bit strange
since yt doesn't use that font internally. Do you perhaps have useTex =
True somewhere in your matplotlibrc? Even then I'm confused why it's
crashing since I know many people use that setting day-to-day with yt and
have no issues. I also just tried running that example notebook using
matplotlib's useTex=True setting and it worked.
In either case, it's really a matplotlib issue and there's not much we can
do about it on the yt side. In particular, I don't see any code outside
matplotlib in any of your tracebacks. Did you install yt using the install
script, or by "pip install"ing or "conda install"ing? Which matplotlib
version are you running? You can check by doing "import matplotlib;
print(matplotlib.__version__)" in the python REPL.
