[FLASH-USERS] Bugs fixed for python scripts

[pchang]

Hi all,
I am running Flash for HEDP. I used some of the scripts coming with 
Flash code, such as "extract_rays.py" or "convertspect3d", for post 
processing the flash output. When I ran these two scripts, I always had 
an error in the following line
wl = t.getWhereList("name == n") .
I believe several users had encountered the similar issues. After doing 
some search online, I found that's the problem for different version of 
PyTables. I think the scripts used PyTables 2.x or older. For people who 
use PyTables 3.x, you need to change the function name "getWhereList" to 
"get_where_list" (ref: http://www.pytables.org/MIGRATING_TO_3.x.html ). 
For example, please change the previous line to :
wl = t.get_where_list("name == n") .
It should work.
In "extract_rays.py", it is more straightforward. Just find those lines 
and change them. For "convertspect3d", you don't need to change anything 
in it, but you need to find the file "FlashFile.py" and make the same 
changes.

Cheers,

Po-Yu
