[yt-users] python 3, more demo fails

Dear Nathan,

I now ran further through the demo and this time I got stuck in

4)_Data_Objects_and_Time_Series

in section "Slice Queries", 3rd input field, the line

yt.write_image(np.log10(frb["gas", "density"]), "temp.png")

causes a trace back

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-17-6cc738ba1725> in <module>()
----> 1 yt.write_image(np.log10(frb["gas", "density"]), "temp.png")
       2 #from IPython.display import Image
       3 #Image(filename = "temp.png")

/home/alex/Python/lib/python3.4/site-packages/yt/visualization/image_writer.py 
in write_image(image, filename, color_bounds, cmap_name, func)
     217         image = image[:,:,0]
     218     to_plot = apply_colormap(image, color_bounds = 
color_bounds, cmap_name = cmap_name)
--> 219     pw.write_png(to_plot, filename)
     220     return to_plot
     221

/home/alex/Python/lib/python3.4/site-packages/yt/utilities/png_writer.py 
in write_png(buffer, filename, dpi)
      17     width = buffer.shape[1]
      18     height = buffer.shape[0]
---> 19     _png.write_png(buffer, width, height, filename, dpi)
      20
      21 def write_png_to_string(buffer, dpi=100, gray=0):

TypeError: write_png() takes at most 3 arguments (5 given)

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

I think I have seen this error in yt version 3.0 or 3.1 before.

(still using current 3.2)

What seems to fix this for me is to change yt/utilities/png_writer.py

def write_png(buffer, filename, dpi=100):
#    width = buffer.shape[1]
#    height = buffer.shape[0]
#    _png.write_png(buffer, width, height, filename, dpi)
     _png.write_png(buffer, filename, dpi)

def write_png_to_string(buffer, dpi=100, gray=0):
#    width = buffer.shape[1]
#    height = buffer.shape[0]
     fileobj = cStringIO()
#    _png.write_png(buffer, width, height, fileobj, dpi)
     _png.write_png(buffer, fileobj, dpi)
     png_str = fileobj.getvalue()
     fileobj.close()
     return png_str

(note:
In [1]: mpl.__version__
Out[1]: '1.5.dev1'
)

Best wishes,
Alexander
