[yt-users] pyfits error

Hi Dave,

I should note that pyfits is very, very deprecated, in favor of astropy’s FITS I/O routines:

http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/io/fits/ <http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/io/fits/>

AstroPy has stable conda builds. 

You can get the same effect as pyfits (with the same API) if you do:

import astropy.io <http://astropy.io/>.fits as pyfits

Best,

John
