[yt-users] cStringIO error

[Daniel Fenn]

Hi everyone,

I've been working here and there on making the two point functions
compatible with yt 3. I've run into an issue with the file i/o that's got
me puzzled.

There's a call to write_on_root() that's failing with the error

*AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute
'StringIO'*

Looking at the definition for write_on_root()
in parallel_analysis_interface.py, I see that the offending line is:

*return cStringIO.StringIO()*

So apparently there's no function called StringIO(), even though the
documentation for cStringIO says there should be.

I think the issue is how cStringIO is being imported:
*from yt.extern.six.moves import cStringIO*

Looking through yt/extern/six.py, it looks like it's modifying how the
modules are imported, or something like that, but I can't really figure out
what's going on in that file.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Daniel
