[yt-users] getting real scalar value

[Slavin, Jonathan]

Hi,

I would like to get the value of the timestep from my FLASH data read in by
yt.  In HDFView I can see the value of 'dt' under 'real scalars'.  Using yt
to read in the data, though I don't see any way to access it, if it is
contained in the ds.  The field list just shows the grid variables. I can
get the absolute time via ds.current_time. There are a number of different
items at the top level in HDFView, e.g. bflags, block size, sim info, that
are not available, as far as I can tell, from the ds object. Am I missing
something?  Is there any way to get yt to read in specific variables like
dr (under "real scalars")?

Thanks,
Jon
