[yt-users] [yt-dev] ANN: yt-3.2.1 release

[John ZuHone]

Hi all,

Binary wheels for Windows and Mac OS X are up for yt 3.2.1, for Python 2.7 and 3.4:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/yt/3.2.1 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/yt/3.2.1>

The command 

pip install yt

should now get the binary distribution on these systems for 3.2.1.

Happy yt-ing!

Best,

John Z
